I too am managing an SVN server so took the time to look this up. I found
this extract from an article...
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html:-
"Notice that svnserve only understands blanket access control. A user
either has universal read/write access, universal read access, or no
access. There is no detailed control over access to specific paths within
the repository. For many projects and sites, this level of access control
is more than adequate. However, if you need per-directory access control,
you'll need to use either use Apache with mod_authz_svn (see the section
called Per-Directory Access Control) or use a pre-commit hook script to
control write access (see the section called Hook Scripts). The
Subversion distribution comes with commit-access-control.pl and the more
sophisticated svnperms.py scripts for use in pre-commit scripts."
