I thought root wasn't allowed to commit any more?
I didn't test it though. Trying to fix now.
Should be done now, test commits were r62636 and r62637. I made the mistake of assuming that the subversion manual is accurate. I used:
root = r * = rw
The manual says that only the last rule applies, but in fact both rules apply, with granted rights taking precedence over non-granted rights. I changed it to:
root = r ~root = rw
using the undocumented match inversion feature that I found in the source code.
Last time around, we weren't sure who to link 'root' too. Maybe you Tim, so you can be notified if someone broke your auth setup?
Then people would assume that all the commits are by me, rather than various lazy sysadmins. I think it's fine as it is.
