LIST folder contents access right - does something similar exists?

Hi Everybody,

I'm using SVN in our company as a document storage and also for as
projects repository, everything in one repository. The document storage
is separated on departments, e.g. HR, MKTG, ACCOUNTING, NETWORKING, etc.

The repository is exposed via WEBDAV and APACHE HTTP (SVN + APACHE
installation). I'm using SSPI for Active Directory authentication and an
ACL file for authorization.

As I want to give non-technical users the possibility to expore
repository via WebDav & browser (HTTP) I would like to give them a
single URL root from which they can start exploring the repository. As
most of them have limited access and could not expore all of the
subfolders from root URL I need the possibility to list for example the
root subfolders but deny access on some of subfolders content. In the
same time I would like to be able to easily maintain the ACL file.

The setup I currently used to accomplish that is to give read access to
root URL but deny access to some of the subfolders. This approach
however has the maintenance disadvantage, each time a new subfolder is
created I have to edit the ACL and remove all rights for this new
subfolder.

Also from what I noticed Windows WebDav client needs read access on
repository root in order to create the WebDav Network Drive.

Your help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan
