Without this, installations that are located at the root of a domain don't get the benefit of `.htaccess` such as improved directory listings, IP blocking, URL rewriting, authorisation, etc. > I'm concerned about security ramifications of this patch.

That way I have revision control on that file too. That may be a security concern, but I trust everybody that has svn commit access and such .htaccess files should not be accessible through wiki cgi. Of course, it could default to 'off'. > See [[debbug 447267]] for a patch for this. [[tag patch]]
