SVN: Global and project-specific passwd files for single repository

Question

I would like to configure my local SVN server to support both a global passwd file and a project specific passwd file.

I have a global passwd file set up that is currently used to administer all accounts. The only problem is, sometimes we want to an outside developer to a single project. With our current setup, we have to grant them access to all accounts.

The ideal solution would be a global passwd file for all in-house developers, as well as a project-specific passwd file for outside developers working on one project only.

Is this possible?

You can set up path based authorization or per-directory access control.
