Re: authz repository syntax

I don't want to use SVNPath directive as I don't want to manage hundred
of lines in httpd.conf , indeed with hundred of repositories, having a
common authz file is greatly appreciated for Dav, too bad it cannot be
used with svnserve !? are you sure ?
So we must maintain a "central" authz file for Dav and a splitted
version of it for each individual repositories to cope with svnserve
"acl" syntax . that's indeed what I notices :-(
In that case, I'll be glad if you could give me a sample of you perl
script that automate that .

Thanks .
