Description

Repo name in disk: /repositories/ABC

<AuthnProviderAlias file file-users>
  AuthUserFile "conf.d/svn_auth_file"
</AuthnProviderAlias>
<Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath "/repositories"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName Subversion
   AuthBasicProvider file-users
   AuthzSVNAccessFile "conf.d/svn_access_file"
   Require valid-user
</Location>

cat conf.d/svn_access_file
[AbC:/]
admin = rw

--------------------------

With the above authz I could checkout /svn/ABC but could *not* commit.

What is inconsistent is why checkout works(unexpected) while commit fails(expected).

We need to check why checkout authorizer does it in a case insensitive way while
commit authorizer do the same in a case sensitive way.
