I'm not sure how they're enforcing it, but "Per-directory access 
control" is one way,  and "Disabling path-based checks" is one 
alternative, both discussed here:

<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.perdir>

A symptom is that the time required to obtain older `info` 
increases (roughly) geometrically with age.
