You are absolutely right. This is a subtle point and perhaps I should
have been more clear before hand. This is not access control based on
URLs. I am not putting in my httpd.conf or .htaccess files directives
to limit access to URLs such as http://svn.my.domain/myrepo/tags. The
module mod_authz_svn, which is part of the subversion distro, allows me
to limit access to directories with ACLs like

[/tags]
* = r
dnewman = rw

That is a repository local directory.
