How can I manage access control in SVN?

You can manage access control in SVN by using the authz file to define permissions for users and groups.

What syntax should I use in the authz file?

The syntax is straightforward: you define groups and then specify permissions for each path. For example:

[groups]
admins = user1, user2

[/project]
@admins = rw
* = r

Can I restrict access to specific branches?

Yes, you can restrict access to specific branches by defining permissions for each branch path in the authz file.

What if I want to allow read access but deny write access?

You can set read access with r and deny write access by not including w. For example:

[/branch1]
* = r
