The path you specify in the access rule isn't the filesystem path to
the repository. It should be a path *within* the repository. You've
granted the world read access to the repository, but you haven't
granted anyone write access.

If /usr/local/project_a isn't the repository itself for project_a, but
instead is a path in the repository pointing to a directory that
represents project_a, then you need to drop project_a: in front of the
path.
