Hi Andrew,
You might be after this .... (SVNPathAuthz)
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.pathauthzoff
My understanding is that disabling this does not disable security
completely, but disables the checking of "sub-paths" for the request.
For example, when this is enabled and you do a "log", it checks that
every path in that commit is accessible, so that there is no information
leak about parts of the repository you don't have access to. But I
think in many situation this is overkill. If you disable this
option, then users can see that something has changed in a path that
they don't have access to .... but they still can't view the contents of
the path.
Regards,
Matt
