Hi All,
The per-directory access control is working fine now using the svn-acl file.
But now I have a different problem.
I have around 20 branches on which I need to impose read restriction.
For that I have explictly written the name of the branch and then gave no
permission to the group.
Is there any way that I can minimize this explicit mentioning of the name by
any means like a regular expression?
I need this because I need to restrict the same group of people if I am
creating a new branch. And this creation is very frequent as we are
following agile methodology and I need to add each entry in the svn-acl file
when ever I create the branch.
Thanks in anticipation.
Karthik.
