Missing per-repository attributes "authz_file" and "authz_module_name"

Description

The multi-repository support lacks attributes to set the authz_file and authz_module_name on a per-repository basis, at least according to the documentation.

If you need fine-grained permissions, this severely limits the usefulness of multi-repository support.

This is not necessary. A single authz file can be used for all repositories, and the individual repositories are identified by the module prefix, as documented:

[repos1:/branches/calc/bug-142]
harry = rw
sally = r

[repos2:/branches/experimental]
sally = rw

The authz_module_name only specifies the module name for the default repository, because the latter has an empty name, and a section in the authz file without an explicit module applies to all repositories, which is not generally desired. Setting authz_module_name allows using a specific set of sections for the default repository.

Hi, it's me again (anonymous). You're right about the single authz file. I still wonder what is used as svn module name, the name of a named repository? The value of the .name attribute? Automatically detected from the .dir attribute?

Replying to anonymous:

The name of the repository. And for the default repository, the value of [trac] authz_module_name.
