Consider: [/] harry=rw
[dataset:/A] sally=rw [dataset:/Z] sally=rw If I had directories B through Y, I am pretty sure Sally cannot see them let along change anything in them. Cool that's what I want. What I don't have though is the ability for Sally to checkout from root and recieve A/* and B/* in one operation. I could grant 'r' for the root for sally, but I'd have to do this for all of B through Y which would be overly verbose: [dataset:/B] sally= So I think I'm asking for a feature, but I'm not sure what would be best for it. Choice 1: [/] harry=rw sally=dironly Choice 2: <Location /svn> DAV svn AuthzSVNParentDirsIfChildrenPermitted </Location> Thoughts? - Paul
