I forgot to mention that when I do what you show below, I get challenged
for username/password even on repositories which have * = r set in the
access control file. But - if I hit cancel on the authentication dialog,
I get another instance of the same dialog, and if I hit cancel on that,
I am in (even if I authenticate properly the first time, I get asked
again)....whereas for the repository which has access control set to
"@webdev-grp = rw" (I am in this group), I get asked only once (as I
should be), and then when I authenticate, I am in - as I should be.
I can't work out apache's logic in determining whether to challenge for
a password (does it consider the access-control settings first?) when
one is not needed, and then allows you in after you refuse to give it -
twice! Very strange.
