Dave,

I hate to admit it, but this is the first I've heard of a wildcard syntax
for path-based authz in the open source Subversion product.  CollabNet's
TeamForge product offers it, but only because we have a custom authz module
altogether.  Can you point me to some information about this new syntax, if
only so I can update the Subversion Book with the information (and then
berate the community for not mentioning this feature in the CHANGES file or
1.9 release notes)?  Or perhaps this is some feature of the WANdisco
Subversion offering?

In answer to your question, though, ViewVC parses and interprets the authz
file itself, attempting to mimic the interpretation that Subversion itself
would offer.
