Description

The Redmine of mine;) is r3832. SVN (WebDAV) user authentication via Redmine.pm in mixed user authentication mode - MySQL for some & LDAP for others.
When a user authenticates himself for a commit and has no (Redmine) right to do that, the HTTP response is 401 (auth_required). It's somehow confusing as the user may think she simply mistyped her password. We use TortoiseSVN and the login window is just cleared. The problem was reproduced for both DB and LDAP authenticated users. I'm not a perl hacker, but simply swapping lines 202 & 226 in Redmine.pm did the trick for me:

  return FORBIDDEN;
...
  return AUTH_REQUIRED;

I certainly cannot be positive that it does not break something else..

Anyway: grat job guys!
