You don't say what's unclear about the new text. Currently trunk generates this (1.7 does something similar): [general] ### The anon-access and auth-access options control access to the ### repository for unauthenticated (a.k.a. anonymous) users and ### authenticated users, respectively. ### Valid values are "write", "read", and "none". ### Setting the value to "none" prohibits both reading and writing; ### "read" allows read-only access, and "write" allows complete ### read/write access to the repository. ### The sample settings below are the defaults and specify that anonymous ### users have read-only access to the repository, while authenticated ### users have read and write access to the repository. # anon-access = read # auth-access = write
