= Patch for new  subversion svn_authz format =

== Description ==

Trac can apply access control for souce code browser through authz_file option. Yet svn_authz support is quite obsolete.
 * do not support `[aliases]` section;
 * do not support `$anonymous` and `$authenticated`;
 * if multiple rules matched in one section, the maximum rights is returned. But it is not the case in Trac.

This patch add aliases support, and fix a certain bugs of svn_authz support in Trac.

I also add `DocTest` for svn_authz.py.
