How can I setup write access policies for an SVN repository under Apache2 on Windows Server 2008? Please help. TIA!

Update1:

I have next configuration already:

<Location /svn>
   SVNParentPath "E:\SVN"

   DAV svn
   SVNListParentPath on
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Subversion repositories"
   Require valid-user

   AuthUserFile svn-auth.txt
   #AuthzSVNAccessFile svn-acl.txt
</Location>

File D:\Program Files (x86)\Apache 2.2\svn-auth.txt created with htpasswd and looks like this:

foobar:$apr1$cV5.....$iwiJXkY6qlKopphUxlPMM/

All works fine.

File D:\Program Files (x86)\Apache 2.2\svn-acl.txt looks looks this:

[groups]
full = foobar

[/]
@full = rw
* = r

And when I uncommented AuthzSVNAccessFile svn-acl.txt I got

403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /svn/ on this server.

Here is an error.log record:

The URI does not contain the name of a repository.  [403, #190001]

I need next directories hierarchy:

E:\SVN is a root directory for all repositories - I want to list the all. It contains E:\SVN\test - is a project repository.

and E:\SVN\foobar - is a sub-root directory containing E:\SVN\foobar\foo and E:\SVN\foobar\bar - project repositories.

to set up anonymous read-only svn access put in your vhost config for apache:

<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /somewhere/svn
    <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>

svn with authentication / write access restrictions - take a look here.

you can find more details in the 'version control with subversion', in this chapter.

try adding slash after your svn in Location - change it from 

<Location /svn>

to 

<Location /svn/>

not really intuitive, found via this forum post.
