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

I agree, this is not from me. It is from the Manager of the group that uses the server... I backup the repository every night....

However I must do what I am asked.

Basically it is to prevent people from using the Repos browser and deleting an entire project in one mouse click...
