It would be impossible to implement within fossil's world view. Once i
clone a repo i have the whole thing, which i can then manipulate (with
admin-level rights) on my machine - you cannot stop me from checking out a
given path once i have access to a clone of the repo. There is no mechanism
with which fossil can completely protect subdirectories unless it
explicitly supports "partial clones" (pulling only part of the repo).

If you mean to restrict _checkin_ access to a given subdir, i don't know if
fossil _could_ do that, but it doesn't currently (and, IMO, shouldn't).
