RE: svnserve/authz mod questions..

Looking at your response to mark about file layout it would appear that
you do indeed want to restrict access at a _file_ level? If so, I'm not
sure authz can help there. I've not tried it, but I think authz is
folder-level, no?

I think you could move to a folder level setup anyway:

/college1
         /sports
                 /sports.py
                /foo.txt
        /academic
                /academic.py
                /bar.txt
/college2
        /sports
                /etc.etc
        /financialaid
                /etc.etc

This way you can restrict user's access to a college in general, or a
section of a college, but still not be file-level.

Even before you get to svn issues, if you're talking about 500-1000
colleges, and many users, you're talking about _lots_ of possible
combinations. What are you using to manage that combination? Why not
extent whatever you're using to manage who's working on what file to
automatically update the authz file? That way they're always in sync.

Oh, and I would say these are probably all in one repository.
