I was under the impression that using svn: the only security was
read-only vs. read-write for the whole repository, and that you could
not apply different security based on the path. So with svn: the
'tags' folder can't be made read-only independently of the trunk and
other 'copies'.
From the Subversion book:
"Notice that svnserve only understands “blanket” access control. A
user either has universal read/write access, universal read access, or
no access."
So I think my claim still stands.
Note that pre-commit hooks to support this are not provided. If I have
to do my own hook programming it is basically to work around the lack
of the true feature. Otherwise I would just enable the "feature".
