[jira] [Commented] (SVN-4865) "[/] @group = rw" not working after upgrade to SVN 1.13

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4865?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17193087#comment-17193087 ] 

Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-4865:
------------------------------------

This looks like the third case in https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.10#authz-compatibility.

Please reply on the users@ mailing list rather than here.  Thanks!

> After upgrading Ubuntu from 18.04 to 20.04, which includes the upgrade of Subversion from 1.9 to 1.13, the following setup no longer works, but according to the docs, the [/] approach should still be working.
> Example illustrating the bug - no access for group "unlimited" to repository "repo1":
> {noformat}
> [groups]
> unlimited = user1, user2
> [/]
> @unlimited = rw
> [repo1:/]
> user3 = rw{noformat}
> In this example, user1 and user2 do not have access to repo1. This was working in SVN 1.9 and I could not find anything in the docs that this would have been removed on the way to 1.13.
> If I change the line "@unlimited = rw" to "* = r", then all users get read access as documented, meaning that the [/] definition is still applied to all repository-specific definitions.
> The @unlimited group gets access to repo1 if I add that group explicitly to the [repo1:/] section. However, this is only a workaround and requires quite some effort if you have a high number of repositories.
