mod_authz_svn Negative Permissions

Hello all,

I would really love to be able to do something like this:
<<
[/]
@partner =
* = rw

[somerepo:/foo/bar]
@partner = rw

[groups]
partner = bob, fred
>>

Instead, I have to do the following, which will require a lot more maintenance:
<<
[/]
* =
@internal = rw

[somerepo:/foo/bar]
@partner = rw

[groups]
partner = bob, fred
internal = tom, dick, harry, frank, billy, yadda, etc
>>

Keeping the "internal" group up to date won't be much fun. Is there any way to make the first config example work? It would be ideal if there were an option that set things such that the first matching user entry in each section was the one enforced.

This page does a good job of documenting the current behavior: http://www.developingprogrammers.com/index.php/2008/08/13/subversion-acl-permissions-explained/

Thanks in advance,
Karl
