developer = cent,fedora
operator = redhat
# everyone can [Read] access on root directory

[/]
* = r
# only [developer] group can [Read/Write] under the [trunk] directory

[project:/trunk]
@developer = rw
# only [operator] group can [Read/Write] under the [branches] directory

[project:/branches]
@operator = rw
# only [operator] group can [Read/Write] under the [tags] directory

[project:/tags]
@operator = rw

<Location /project>
    DAV svn
    AuthType Basic

module svn-httpd 1.0;

require {
        type svnserve_content_t;
        type httpd_t;
        class file { append create getattr lock open read rename setattr unlink write };
        class dir { add_name create read remove_name rmdir write };
}

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t svnserve_content_t:dir { add_name create read remove_name rmdir write };
allow httpd_t svnserve_content_t:file { append create getattr lock open read rename setattr unlink write };
[root@dlp ~]#
checkmodule -m -M -o svn-httpd.mod svn-httpd.te

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

   <https://dlp.srv.world:443> DAV SVN

can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible.  See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/redhat/.subversion/servers'.
