I have repositories created in C:\Data\Subversion as well as sub-folders like C:\Data\Subversion\Dev-Mobile.

I can give per project access to users for the repos in the root folder without problems. For that I’m adding those lines in svn-acl:

[Project1:/]
Test = rw

However, I try to give access for a repo in a sub-folder but it doesn’t work:

[Test161:/Dev-Mobile]
Test = rw

The project is declared in subversion.conf as:

<Location /Dev-Mobile/Test161>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath C:/Data/Subversion/Dev-Mobile/Test161
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Test161 Repository"
  AuthUserFile c:/Data/Subversion/svn-auth-file
  Require valid-user
  AuthzSVNAccessFile c:/Data/Subversion/svn-acl
</Location>

What am I doing wrong?

    The problem was that I tried to add the subfolder in the path (after :/) since this was the logical thing to do but I’ve found out Subversion will automatically scan the subdirs.

    So this is the correct sintex no matter if the repo is in the root or a subfolder!

    [Test161:/]
Test = rw
