RE: How to hide restricted directories using SVN's path-based authorization?

Hi all,

I've been going over the SVN manual but haven't yet located a server-side
option to hide restricted directories themselves - only directory contents.
Not sure it's possible with SVN 1.6, although I've seen others asking for
this sporadically on SVN users. Is this a valid feature request to propose
to the SVN team, or is there an existing feature request (I'll start looking
soon)?
 
Thanks,
Shaun

Subject: How to hide restricted directories using SVN's path-based
authorization?

Hello all,

We're setting up path-based authorization to allow/deny access to certain
folders in our repository based on usernames. This is working great so far
and, as expected, SVN doesn't list the child files/folders downstream of
restricted folders. However, the restricted folders themselves are still
shown in a SVN directory list. Is there a way to prevent restricted
directories from showing?

For example, given this sample repo:

/Trunk/test.txt
/Trunk/Folder/noaccess1.txt
/Trunk/Folder/noaccess2.txt

We've restricted /Trunk/Folder for a user but SVN shows him:

/Trunk/test.txt
/Trunk/Folder

Can SVN hide /Trunk/Folder for this user?

Thanks,
Shaun
