Agree on this. From our experience, people configure access permissions by trial-and-error approach. At least, they do not consider the svnbook. BTW, there is a KB article for VisualSVN Server users that describes the current behavior of Subversion authz files: http://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00033/ > Can we change the behaviour of existing authz files? I think, it's not a very good idea to change the behavior of existing authz files. At least, it should not be done implicitly. -- With best regards, Danil Shopyrin VisualSVN Team
