svnauthcheck

svnauthcheck project is a tool to check the syntax of Subversion access control files. We developed it to be able to delegate to certain repository users the ability to manage the access control to the repository itself.

For the impatients:

./configure
make
make install

svnauthcheck checks the given authfile or the standard input if authfile is not specified.

-u user: specifies a user that should have write access to the top directory
-v: verbose output
--version: prints the version of the program
