there is no CVSROOT equivalent in subversion.
Ok, I thought that there could be either a hidden folder or some metadata that does not count as part of the repository itself, but is still under the repository of SVN... but anyway.
subversion itself does no nothing about authentication and authorisation: this is left for a frontend. the usual frontend (the one sourceforge is using) is via http/webdav; an ACL needs to made available to the frontend; for apache, this is usually done via a special file on the filesystem (which is read by the apache-server); more info under [1]. sourceforge would need to provide a means to write this special file; in my privat svn-setups, i haven't found a way to split this configuration into a per-repository file (instead of per-webserver) - but that might be just my personal failure; this might be the reason why sourceforge does not provide any means of ACLs for svn (yet).
Is SVN ACL on SF's TODO list? if it is not, could we make a request to have this feature?
