RE: Create-only access to tags subdirectory

Suppose that it could be possible to specify wildcard in sections of
AuthzSVNAccessFile, i.e.:

[repos:/tags]
@repos-group = rw

[repos:/tags/*]
@repos-group = r
@repos-admin-group = rw

Then, creating a tag (copying in /tags) is allowed to any member of repos-group
while modifying a tag (for example, adding something in /tags/release-1.0)
is allowed to repos-admin-group members.
Yes, it would be possible to delete a tag......
Maybe, adding some other action besides rw would help.

Guido.
