Re: how to disable svn's copy and move command?

Re: Logging repository accesses other than commits

Re: Behaviour on minor .control misconfiguration

maintainers' policy seems to be to discourage use of path-based access control (see the box on http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html), so it's possible you might get some people to agree that having the security fail open is desirable here. -- David Brodbeck System

Re: An issue about SVN access deny

sevral times, and it seems if a user do not have access right to a subfolder, he can not create a tag for this folder. Am I right ? or anyone has some solution? Tagging is a copy operation in SVN, so the person making the tag has to be able to read the source of the tag. -- David Brodbeck

Re: Error svn: Can't open file '/svn/mpfr/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied
