You don't have to run Subversion's web server on port 80. You can
have your usual web server running on port 80, and Subversion on some
other port (we do this on http://www.red-bean.com:8080/, for example).

Heck, you can even run it on CVS's port 2401 if that's what your
firewall requires, although of course it won't speak the CVS protocol.

We're just considering Apache 2.0 to be part of the server code -- one
of many things you need to run Subversion. This seems reasonable to
me, since it doesn't have to interfere with your other server(s).

Is there some other reason (besides the port interference non-issue)
why this is a showstopper for you?
