Well, try to see from another point of view. About everything is immutable in
Subversion (you can modify commit message with admin tools).
A copy is immutable if you see it as the transaction that **created** the copy.

I agree, it would be great if mod_authz_svn could be shared among different access
methods (together with some extensions on available actions, i.e. read/write is not
sufficient, and path specification, i.e. wildcard are appreciated).
