In VisualSVN server in windows authentication the authz-windows don't seem to be able to handle *= on sub paths
ie, in a standard authz you can restrict a subpath by simply adding *= to remove rights from anyone, then selectively add people back in [myrepo:/trunk/app/secured.file] * = poweruser = rw but with the authz-windows file the gui still lists any users with access higher up the path has still having access to the secured file Also - the use of SIDs - while useful in certain circumstances - is a pain. the idea of a non standard authz in general is bad - perhaps it use could be made optional?
