Description

subversion need to specify group members in the 'groups' section of
svnaccess.conf configuration file.
external access control system like LDAP, AD, &etc. requires to syncronize group 
members to svnaccess.conf (for example: http://thoughtspark.org/node/26/).
subversion must query operating system for group members directly.
for example: on posix systems from nss (ldap, nis, /etc/group ...). on windows: 
from AD or local groups.
