This is not uncommon (only on Windows!). The authorization is operating
"in memory" and comparing strings. That's always case sensitive by
default (unless specifically made case insensitive).
Accessing the repository goes to the file system and requests a
directory called "TVM" - Windows happily returns "tvm" or "Tvm" or whatever.
I am wondering if THAT is acceptable behavior for Subversion?
AFAIK, this should work (not that I'm doing it):
[/]
* = r
[secret:/]
* =
me = rw
Am I wrong?
On Windows, that's now heavily broken, because I could still access
"Secret" or "seCret" or something like that as an anonymous user, right?
I think this should be changed in one of two ways:
a) make authentication case insensitive on Windows (seems like it was in
1.2.3? However, on other operating systems it has to be case sensitive,
so maybe it was "fixed for *nix" in 1.3.0? :-) Or it's actually a
(regression) bug)
b) make repository access case sensitive even on Windows (a case
preserving version of the filename is available from the Win API if you
want it)
