<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVN Path /path/to/repos
    Order allow, deny
    Allow from all
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "My Repository"
    AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
    Require valid-user
</Location>

is the key.

That directory isn't even known to apache, only Subversion knows that
directory 'exists'.

If something works with the browser, that doesn't really mean it also
works with Subversion. The browser only get's a http page provided by
the Subversion server.
Subversion clients however talk to the server not via http but DAV.
