Re: Restricting svn commands usage for users

'tag' and 'branch' are not commands in Subversion. Instead they are
just different paths in the repository folder structure. You can use
the permissions mechanism in authz to only allow certain users (or
groups of users) to have write ability in the branches and tags areas.
 If you want to allow writing to a branch but not creation of a branch
then you definitely will need to use a hook script that checks the
type of operation (such as a copy to the tags area) and checks a list
of allowed users.

You will largely need to read example hooks and learn the scripting
for your platform.
