Interesting. Did this behavior change at some point? I'm using the syntax with "* =" at the end of the entry in many locations and it's always worked fine. svnserve 1.5.1 here. The manual does seem to agree with your example, so I'm wondering if I should go through and change all of my permission entries to avoid future problems.
