Description

This is about the access control file specified via the
AuthzSVNAccessFile directive in httpd.conf. The [groups] part does not
allow one to specify other groups so it gets rather cumbersome to deal
with lots of users who are in different groups. The following example fails:

[groups]
permstaff = a, b, c, d, e
consultants = f, m
everyone = @permstaff, @consultants

Patch is coming up.
