Have you read the Subversion Book? Subversion has a really good online
manual available and the chapter you need is here:-
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.h
tml
The third paragraph after the big brown "Do You Really Need Path-Based
Access Control?" box should answer your question but it is worth reading
the whole page and some of the links. Walkthroughs are great at getting
you going but not for granting understanding, that's where the manual
comes in!

P.S. if you google for "redbean" and some svn keywords, be careful of
the URL as google often returns results for older versions (e.g. "1.1"),
always look for the '/nightly/' bit.
