I don't know the details, but I have seen some discussions on the dev-list which seem to be related to this. I think the relevant part starts here: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-10/0268.shtml (or some other posts which you can find by searching the archives on "Authz on Collection of Repositories"). I think this has recently been fixed on trunk. See this line in the CHANGES file on trunk: * SVNParentPath / repository listing now authz-filtered (r1408184) So if that's your issue, it will probably be fixed in 1.8. -- Johan
