SVN's authz and folder renaming

Say I want to prevent certain users form accessing certain folders in my SVN repo. I just do:

[/]
* = rw

[/NewSecretFolder]
* = rw
some_poor_sap =

But what if that folder was renamed from SecretFolder to NewSecretFolder? Will user some_poor_sap be able to access the history for /SecretFolder?

Solution

  • Yes, he will be able then. You need to do

    [/]
* =

    And then allow access to required users where needed. This is how I do that.
