If I deny fred access to /trunk/foo/bar/fred.may.not.read.this.txt but I allow to read /branches (which I want him to be able to), everytime I create a branch or tag I need to alter the acces-file, and besides this beeing ugly its error prone. I am taking this to the subversion List, perhaps they have a solution...
