I've tried and tried to get a per-directory thing going where one was public
(anonymous) and others were password protected. IIRC, a problem I had was
the public one needed authentication to do an "svn log", even though you
could "svn checkout" just fine w/o a password. Anyhow, I gave up. Your
repository should be either all public or all password restricted, but not
both. Othewise it's too buggy. That's why I have 2 SVN servers running -
one for public access and one requiring security clearance.
