Somehow the file with per-branch permissions disappeared and by default
the policy is deny except for user branches ( e.g.. andrei/...).

I've restored it and it should work now.

Strange thing is that the last modification time on the directory
holding this file was 2010-06-09 02:15 (cronjob?). We will need to
investigate further (to see if it was deleted by mistake, cronjob ran
amok or some fs error).
