Re: Svnserve authz repository name problem on Windows

I've basically given up on it, and switched to using the svnperms.py and svnperms.conf tools instead. These also provide better resolution of the access, including permissions to add, delete, or update directories.

  Hi all,

  It seems I've had the same problem as described in http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0057.shtml .
  My platform is:
  - Windows XP Pro SP 2
  - Subversion 1.3.1
  - Apache 2.0.55
  authz file syntax [repository:/path] works fine with httpd but doesn't work for me using svnserve. The latter ignores [repository:/path] syntax and computes only [/path] syntax.

  It's a bit cumbersome with multiple repository access methods. You can't use the same authz file.

  To bypass the problem you need one authz file for httpd access and one authz file for each repository using svnserve. Of course, httpd and svnserve authz files contain redundant configuration data.

  Is it an issue? Will the next svnbook release reveal some new authz features?
