I think the problem here is that the repo browser tries to fetch the web
page generated by the SVNParentPath directive if it can not access the
passed url. In that case it assumes that it may not be the repository
but the page that lists all the repositories under SVNParentPath.

I'll add an option to disable this behavior:
