Linux – Folder permissions in single SVN repo

linuxsvn

We have a large SVN repo setup with multiple folders in it such as:

/svn
     /folder1
     /folder2
     /folder3

We use SVN+SSH and put everyone into a "svn" group which owns the repo. I want to make it so that everyone can access folder1 and folder2, however only a certain group of users can access folder3 (both read and write).

Is there a way to to that ? Or should I be looking to just move folder3 out of SVN and onto something else?

Thanks

When you say access, do you mean SVN access (checkout / commit / etc)? If so, you may want to look at the options for authorization in svnserve itself as it allows for Path-Based Authorization.
