Andy Levy, thanks for noticing me about SVN updates.

Looking around the SVN mailing list, I find that the
developer team seems to claim support for
per-directory access in newer SVN release. However,
the newest svn-1.4.2 installation seems to come with
outdated documentation (the document still says that
svnserve only understands "blanket" access control),
and the svnserve itself seems not to cleanly work out
its support for per-directory access. The problem is
read access at root path must be granted for all
users, and is reported here
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2486
The bug seems to not be fixed in the newest svn-1.4.2
i am running now, because I meet the same problem.

Can someone confirm the bug? Or I have missed
something?
