Show Log and SVN Works Only With "All Can Read" Option in authz File

Question

I am using SVN and and only if I set at file authz * = r then I can view log messages when selecting Show Log from the context menu.

Surely this is not what I want - to allow all reads access...

I currently use @developer=rw but as I mentioned above this does not work.

Please advise

Thanks

You didn't post the whole configuration file here, so my guess is that granting access to developers group doesn't work because you didn't specify members of this group in [group] section. Your configuration file should look like the following:

[group]
developers = person_a, person_b

[/]
developers = rw

Check this manual for the syntax.
