The problem is probably in the following. When anon-access is other than "none", svnserve does not request authentication for some important operations like "svn log", and I have found no way to force it to request authentication. This effectively breaks path based authorization.
I have found some tricky solutions for the http access method (like defining two aliases for the same repository), but none for the svnserve method. Any help?
