RE: Writing on subfolder requires read access on repository root

Hi,

   Not really. This is issue looks little different from #3242. As I
mentioned below looks like it was fixed 1.3.2 (Issue#2486). Am I
missing something here. Can anybody help me.

Thanks
Srini

Do you think this is part of issue #3242:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3242

There is a potential fix being developed, but there is not yet an
expected release date for this fix.
