I'm glad I could help.
The authz_svn access list is really more for securing different paths
within a single repository or doing such in multiple repositories. To
keep a repository specifically for some users doesn't always scratch
that itch though....
My company operates in a highly collaborative environment. As such, I
have to leave some directories open to r by everyone and the ones with
more important data to rw only by me or my team.
I guess my hope was that my script would encourage others to do the same....
Withouth subversion and it's authz_svn abilities, it would take us
twice as long to collaborate as it does.
