Dear Mark,
 
Thanks for prompt reply, is it possible to give hook script for first 2
queries as I have done exhaustive search in search forums but haven't
found hook script to do the following action
 
> 1. Restricting branching activity based on roles specified.
> That is denying branch functionality to users based on there roles.
> 2. Denying delete/add folder to certain users, it is not just
> r or r/w. if user has r/w access but shouldn't have delete or
> add access, only modify commit should be accessible.
 
3rd query
> 3. Is it possible host repos in 2 different physical locations?
 
I meant in Collabnet admin GUI we can give location of only one data
location, i.e., if we want to place repos in more than one machine or
physical location, is it possible.
 
I assume you have found and read the online subversion book?
 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/index.html
 
Yes I have PDF copy of this file, it is very informative. I have been
maintaining SVN since 2 months using this document.
 
Thanks & Regards,
 
Jerryleen S
 
Project Coordinator, PRDC

This functionality is not "baked in". It might well be possible to do
with a pre-commit hook but you (your admin team) would need to write and
maintain the script. Personally I have not tried to do such things.
 
> 3. Is it possible host repos in 2 different physical locations?
 
What do you mean by host? There is built-in support for providing
read-only mirrors (also as write-through proxies) but if you want
multiple 'master' repositories then you need to look to WanDISCO's
proprietry MultiSite extension.
 
> 4. How to delete folders or file permanently.
 
I assume you mean "remove completely from all history"? Ignoring all
the arguments about if a source control product should even allow this,
it is only currently possible by 'dump', 'dumpfilter' and 'reload'ing
the whole repository. It is a feature on the roadmap
(http://subversion.apache.org/roadmap.html) called 'obliterate' but not
soon.

> SVN 1.6
> Tortoise 1.6.
