Greetings, So I have forward-ported Stephane's patch to add recursion to SVNParentPath for 1.6.15 (see attached patch). I have also started, but had to stop, work on making it function with trunk (see also, attached patch). The 1.6.15 patch works, the trunk patch does not (some functions take different arguments now, it seems -- and that may be part of it since I excised those bits entirely). Anyways, I am hoping at minimum that this will allow the patch to be used by someone else who needs this functionality. Ideally someone with some better knowledge of the SVN coding standards and internals would finish this for us and include it into the base distribution when they have time. If I have or am given such time in the future, I will do that -- but the time isn't now unfortunately.
As for Glasser's prior concern that this would change the functionality and potentially cause some security issues -- my response would be to add it to a new devel line and note it as a functional change. I don't think there's much use or safety in storing the repository in a deeper dir of something that is apache accessible anyways -- so this would effectively make things function more like I think should be expected anyways. I am going to also attach these patches to the bug below.
