If you're willing to give up fine-grained, path-based authorization then you
can use LDAP groups to secure access to entire repositories at the top-level.
Just define a "Location" for each respository and use Apache's LDAP integration
capabilities to secure each location with one or more LDAP groups.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html
Works fine for us!
The example below gives all authenticated users access to the "Publications"
repository, but only members of the AD group "SOMEAdingGroup" have read-write
access.
<Location />
AuthName "Subversion Server"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicAuthoritative On
AuthBasicProvider ldap
# If ldap checks are to be used with non-ldap checks (like "valid-user"), set
this to off
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPURL
ldaps://ad.company.com:3269/DC=ad,DC=company,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectCategory=user)
AuthLDAPBindDN CN=SOMEADMIN,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=company,DC=com
AuthLDAPBindPassword secret
</Location>
<Location /svn/Publications>
DAV svn
SVNPath \Repositories\Publications
SVNPathAuthz off
# The following users/groups will have read-write permission
Require ldap-group CN=SOMEAdminGroup,OU=Groups,DC=ad,DC=company,DC=com
<Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
# For any read-only operation, allow these additional users/groups
Require valid-user
</Limit>

Yes, sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant "group" as in "a group in
the access file", like the developers group I have.
No, I don't think it's possible. The only way I can think of is the script that
Stefan already suggested.
