Just my 2 cents and a bit off-topic, actually you can have fine-grained
permissions with SVN without a hook script when you use the
AuthzSVNAccessFile directive in Apache. This way you don't have to
provide at least read-only on everything (which is not interesting for
an open-source project, I agree). Unfortunately, so far, it uses an
ini-style permissions file in which you can't use regexp.
