Which (if any) of the workarounds described there is implemented for the
svn-org repository? Is there a reason we don't use the last one (quoted
below)?

    Finally, you could setup a second <Location> block in your
    httpd.conf file which points to the same repository but with
    a slightly different URL (for example, with "-no-anon" appended to
    it). In this block, disallow anonymous access. Then add a matching
    redundant entry in your authz file, too:
    
        [repository-no-anon:/]
        * =
        @writers = rw
