Subject: Multiple matching lines in authz file
Message-ID: <877hrkmiws.fsf@...>
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-01/0340.shtml
I also discussed this with striker (who wrote a lot of the initial authz
code) at the Apache Retreat. He confirmed that this was a documentation bug,
rather than a bug in the implementation.
* src/en/book/ch06-server-configuration.xml:
(svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz): Group permissions can only be
extended, not restricted, for individual group members. Document
this correctly, rather than claiming the opposite was true.
