Thanks. But now there is an other problem:

My httpd.conf contains:

 <Location /svn/repos>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /local/svn/repos
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Subversion Repository"
   AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Require valid-user
 </Location>

Now I create a repository with "svnadmin create /local/svn/repos/project"
and put the following into /local/svn/repos/project/.htaccess :

 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "Subversion Repository"
 AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd
 AuthGroupFile /path/to/groups/project
 Require Group project

Into /path/to/groups/project I put "project: foo bar"

But somehow apache ignores the /path/to/groups/z and acts as if
"Require valid-user" were specified.

Where is the problem? Could it be that dav_svn ignores the .htaccess
files in the repository directory?
