Path authentication issues ( svnserve.exe )

Hi,

I have been working with the path authentication a few hours by following
the manual.
But it seems that it does't a first match as the manual wrote.

The user jane still be able to commit to the repository when working with
groups.
However, when there are users only. It is fine.

quote from manual

Groups can be granted access control just like users. Distinguish them with
an “at” (@) prefix:

[calc:/projects/calc]
@calc-developers = rw

[paint:/projects/paint]
jane = r
@paint-developers = rw

Another important fact is that the first matching rule is the one which gets
applied to a user. In the prior example, even though Jane
is a member of the paint-developers group (which has read/write access), the
jane = r rule will be discovered and
matched before the group rule, thus denying Jane write access.

Thanks,
