#22 1.7 change: authz section headers are now compared case-sensitively

In the chapter "Path-Based Authorization" the syntax of the SVNPath
directive is explained.

Well, nowhere is mentioned that the repositoryname MUST be LOWERCASE (at
least I didn't find it)! As I found out (using SVNServe 1.5.4/Win2003) no
matter how the repository is spelled in the filesystem (i.e. "RePoSiToRy")
you HAVE TO refer to it in the file authz in LOWERCASE characters!

i.e:
Repositoryname: MySuperProject
in authz:
   ...
   [mysuperproject:/]
   ...

Please add this to your apart from that great book!

Agreed that bits of the configuration file syntax are normalized to lower-case for
comparison would be a handy thing to document.

Summary: Path-Based Authorization: [<reponame>:XXX]: reponame MUST be lowercase

I've committed this warning in [r3897].

However, this bug is fixed in Subversion 1.7, so I'm repurposing this issue toward removing the warning in the 1.7 version of the book.

[r4009] doesn't remove the warning, but it updates the warning appropriately.  Calling this done.

Status: Fixed
