1. Upgrade your VisualSVN Server 2.5 at least to the latest maintenance patch release 2.5.17. You can download VisualSVN Server 2.5.17 at http://www.visualsvn.com/server/download/2.5/ 2. Remove "Everyone" (or other group's) Read / Write or Read Only access rule from repositories root node. I guess that you have this rule configured and it's the root cause here because access rules are parsed case-sensitively in Apache Subversion 1.7 and newer. 3. I strongly advise you not to set "Read / Write" or "Read" access to the repositories root and consider setting permissions repository-wide, not server-wide. Please also check the KB article "Understanding VisualSVN Server authorization" at http://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00033/.
