I have read this several times, carefully.
As far as I can tell, I have followed the instructions there exactly.

I am running Fedora-7 on the computer in question.
Here is my /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf ,
with most of the comment lines removed.
-----------------------------------------
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

# Example configuration to enable HTTP access for a directory
# containing Subversion repositories, "/var/www/svn".

<Location /repos>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
# SVNPath /var/www/svn/Penrose
#
# # Limit write permission to list of valid users.
# <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
# # Require SSL connection for password protection.
# # SSLRequireSSL
#
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "Subversion Repository"
# AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
# Require valid-user
# </LimitExcept>
</Location>
-----------------------------------------

I've tried with the authentication lines commented in and out.
I get the same result whatever I do.

I wonder if there is some WebDAV code I need to include
in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf .
At present that file is more or less unchanged.
