Case sensitivity of authz access rules

Prior to this release, the section headers in Subversion's authz access files—which contain repository names and repository filesystem paths—were parsed in a case-insensitive fashion. That's been fixed in this release. The practical fallout, though, is that your existing authz files might be depending (perhaps unintentionally) on the old behavior and the new behavior could result in access to items in your repositories being unexpectedly denied—or granted—as a result of upgrading to Subversion 1.7. Please review all authz access files for case correctness. (For details, see issue #3781).
