[...] If you use 'SVNPathAuthz short_circuit" and supply an empty (0-byte, or "[/]\n *=rw") authz file for repositories that don't need authz, I think the effect on server resources will be minimal. (The code will still try to authz every path, but the overhead of reading/parsing/applying the authz file will be small.) Though, in general, agreed with Philip here --- it'd be nice if per-repository httpd.conf settings in SVNParentPath configurations Just Worked.
