Using subversion authz configuration with repository containers and single repositories (Cernko, Patrick; Herget, Wolfgang)

Using the Subverstion module for apache you can manage access to your repositories very flexible. Nevertheless we missed a feature:

You can either specify the paths with repository names if you are using SVNParentPath or use a path without repository name in the authz file for hosting only one repos. We wanted to use both hosting possibilities but still only use one authz file.

Thanks to Wolfgang Herget, we developed a patch, which provided the new apache config option AuthzSVNRepositoryName. Using this option, you can specify which repository name should be used when checking permissions in the authz file for the single repository hosting method.
