RE: Questions about Subversion...

Looking through the Google Groups page for Visual SVN server, the Active
Directory support in it is brand spanking new and it supports AD Groups as
well.

Thanks!

VisualSVN Server 1.5 [1] supports authentication for Active Directory users.

Yes, Subversion (and VisualSVN Server of course) supports security policies
for directories. Check "Per-Directory Access Control" chapter in SVN book
[2] or use VisualSVN Server management console to configure them.
