Path-based authentication with 1.8.8

Hello,

I have been experiencing a problem using path-based authorization with version 1.8.8 and Apache.

I am attempting to give a couple of users RW access to a particular sub-directory but when they attempt to commit changes they are denied. Here is a snippet of the authorization file.

[groups]
@users = User1, User2, User3

[repo:/Projects]
@users = rw
User4 = r
User5 = r

[repo:/Projects/Software/Client]
User4 = rw
User5 = rw

The problem is User4 and User5 cannot commit changes to files in [repo:/Projects/Software/Client]. The documentation indicates that this configuration should allow such commits.

If I add User4 = rw and User5 = rw to [repo:/Projects] the users are able to successfully commit.

Has anyone seen this issue? I am fairly certain we have not encountered such problems with past versions.
