You can use svnperms.py on pre-commit hook, which allows regular expressions. You can’t use groups from your svn_access_file: you have to redefine your allowed users and groups on svnperms.conf file.

If you use one project per repository (which I highly recommend), then you can just define [/trunk/passwords] *= or similar to set up permissions for the same path in all projects. — Sarah Codesion.com On 21 May 2010 18:05, Johan Corveleyn <jcor...@gmail.com<mailto:jcor...@gmail.com>> wrote: On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 10:48 PM, vishwajeet singh <dextrou...@gmail.com<mailto:dextrou...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > > On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 2:16 AM, Prakash Velayutham > <prakash.velayut...@cchmc.org<mailto:prakash.velayut...@cchmc.org>> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Is it possible to use '*' in the path portion of a AuthzSVNAccessFile. >> >> Like >> >> [repo:/folder1/*/*/bc] >> @group1 = rw >> @group2 = r >> @admin = rw >> >> Would this work?

FYI, there is an (open) enhancement request for this: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2662 - authz with wildcards It seems that several patches were created for this, but for some reason they were never committed. Maybe someone with interest in this issue should try to take a look at those patches again, bring them up on the dev list for review, ... Cheers, -- Johan
