After I noticed it with 1 user, i started getting complaints from
several other developers working on separate repositories that they
are also getting the same issue. The issue came ONLY when the
developer was trying to update at the root level. They were able to
update at an individual file level. I had not changed the access
permissions in a while. The way I was able to get around it was to
give the individual read access at the repository level and read-write
at the branch level. Before, the individual had no access at the root
level and read-write at the branches level (Tags & trunk were
basically off limits). With this change, the error went away for
everyone. Also the client used in all cases is TortoiseSVN

I really like VisualSVN server and is a very convenient and quality
product. Having said that, its integration with Windows authentication
(using Active directory) is very fickle. I manage about 6 production
repositories with numerous branches and have encountered errors in one
repository/branch that doesn't occur for the same permissions in
another repositories. The problems are exacerbated if I use Active
directory groups or an individual is a member of multiple groups
(Built in user & in AD group). There is no clear way to figure out
from the error messages in the even viewer as to where the access
privilege was derived to request access from the server. I guess
better control of logging here would be very useful. I dont know of a
way to control logging in the VisualSVN server.
