Description

The authentication with authz_svn should allow wildcards like 

  [/]
  @team = rw
 
  [/*/tags/]
  @team = r

In several projects, there can be folders named identically, and setting up 
rules for each project is very cumbersome. Using wildcards like in the above 
example would simplify the task of setting up security, and could fasten the 
processing of the rules file by far.

There was already a discussion about this:

Additionally, I found this thread:
