Hi,
The svnperms.py script reads the svnperms.conf file, which needs the
section rules for all the repos uniquely. This was quite tough when we
have n number if repos. I wished that svnperms.py reads regex matches
and applies the configuration rules and came up with this patch.
Mid-way of my coding work, I came to know that -s switch would let us
specify the section name explicitly, but not the regex thing.
I modified the code to search for a matching section via regex, which
might be really helpfull for certain cases.
I have attached the log file and the patch file with this mail for
review.
Thanks and regards,
Prabhu
