If authz denies access to some, but not all, of the paths modified in a revision then log shows svn:author and svn:date but does not show svn:log. That is not what is shown above. If authz denied access to all of the paths modified in a revision then log does not show any of svn:author, svn:date or svn:log. That could be what is shown above. Given read access to the root and no access to a subdir then revisions that only modify paths in the subdir produce that output. The other possibility is that svn:date and svn:author have been deleted from the revisions. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
