All,
                                                                                
I had a curious issue last night when I was attempting to change around
the layout of my various Subversion repositories.
                                                                                
I'm using the DAV-SVN module for Apache to network the repos. I tried
the following with a 0.26, 0.29, and 0.30 client and a 0.29 server (all
Debian packages of stated version).
                                                                                
I changed the httpd.conf file to the following:
                                                                                
  <Location />
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /home/svn
  </Location>
                                                                                
I originally had had this (straight out of the subversion book):
                                                                                
  <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /home/svn
  </Location
                                                                                
Anyway, I already had some repos setup and working copies on several
machines when I made the above change. I simply did an 'svn switch
--relocate' on the working copies and everything was working
great...until I created a new repository for a different project and
attempted to import code into this repo.
                                                                                
When I attempted to import code I would get the following error (with
the 0.30 client ... the other clients had similar, but not identical,
errors):
                                                                                
$ svn import project http://dev.mydomain.org/project
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/rtest'
svn: PROPFIND of '/rtest': 301 Moved Permanently (http://dev.sethd.org)
                                                                                
                                                                                
If I change the httpd.conf file back to:
                                                                                
  <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /home/svn
  </Location
                                                                                
Then everything works. That is, I can import code into new repositories
with 'svn import project http://dev.mydomain.org/svn/project'.
                                                                                
This doesn't seem like a big deal. It's easy enough to get around. I
figured I'd report it since I didn't see anything about this in the
issue tracker or in the mailing list archive...and maybe someone else is
having this problem and doesn't know what is going on.
                                                                                
Thanks.
