Also, never put your repositories in the same location as your standard
web-browsing. It just causes trouble.
For example, if your parent URL is for http://hostname/svn/repos/, and your
DocumentRoot is set to /var/www/html, never put your repositories in
/var/www/html/svn/repos/[repositorynames]. Always use a "Location" statement
to make the distinction between the repo location and the normal browser
locations clear.
I don't understand all the details of why, but this issue has been around
for a while, and seems to be why the defaults in the Linux RPM's point the
repo to a separate directory than /var/www/html/.
