ConfigParser ignores a line started with rem as a comment. User named rem cannot be used in.

>>> from trac.versioncontrol.svn_authz import parse
>>> from trac.util import read_file
>>> print(read_file('/tmp/svnauthz.txt'))
[/path/to]
foo = rw
REM = rw
Rem = rw
rem = rw

>>> parse('/tmp/svnauthz.txt', [''])
{'': {u'/path/to': {u'foo': True}}}

Seems to be ​intentional in Python 2.7. (But ​undocumented? ​Someone on StackOverflow wondered the same.)

Apparently in ​Python 3.2 this behavior was removed as part of ​this issue.
