Description

If a group is defined in an AuthZ file without an associated account that SVN is, as of 1.10, generating an error and failing to allow the use of that AuthZ file.

Example:

[groups]
goodGroup = acct1
goodGroup2 = acct1, acct2
badGroup =
 
[repoName:/someplace]
@badGroup = rw

results in:

 
svnauthz: E220003: Error while parsing authz file: ...
svnauthz: E220003: Access entry refers to undefined group ...
