Thanks. What I do not get is why this is needed. Don't you have to
explicitly turn authz on anyway? What is the point of turning it on and
off?
In other words, I assume that authz doesn't do anything unless I have the
AuthzSVNAccessFile directive specified. So why wouldn't I just remove
this directive if I didn't want the functionality?
