That's correct. SVN's "native" access control only provides read,
write (write covers add and delete as well), and no access.

BTW, there is no "destroy" in Subversion at all. You can delete, but
that only removes the item from the HEAD revision. If you want to
actually remove all traces of an item from the repository, you need to
dump the repository, remove the item, then reload the repository.

As I posted on the 14th, look into svnperms.py.
