AW: subversion security, everyone can commit, limited to who can delete

Hi,

I wonder what the point of limiting delete operations is? You can always overwrite any file with null byte if you have write permissions - the damage is pretty much the same. Anyway, subversion won't loose the file even if you deleted it, it can always be reconstructed - unless you invest some work as admin of the repository.

just my $0.02

        Betreff: subversion security, everyone can commit, limited to who can delete
        
        
        Hi,
        
        I need help with my httpd.conf.
        
        How can I arrange my httpd.conf so that everyone can commit, but only certain users can delete from the reposiory.
        
        Currently I gave everyone a user name and password and they must use this to do anything.
        
        However that means anyone can delet if they want.
        
        I would like to prevent people from deleting... I tried useing the LimitExcept Delete in httpd.conf but that made it so people could not check in or out...
        
        Thanks
