You're both right. The IT group is right that SVN natively only has 3
access levels - non, read-only, and read/write.

You are correct to doubt their position that B&C are not feasible at
all. B & C can be achieved via the svnperms.py pre-commit hook script,
or possibly some creative Apache configuration if that's how you're
serving your repository.
