Wild-cards are not supported in authz.

If you only needed this to protect writes, then you can do it with a
pre-commit hook. The SVN repository contains svnperms.py which can do
this:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/

However, if you need to protect read access, you cannot do it via a
hook and the Subversion authz module does not support wildcards.
