Yes, it is supposed to work.

Oh, that's different - you are setting a versioned property on the
file by that - not an unversioned property on the revision, which is
the last changed author. The next release has clientside code to
change the revision properties.

Well that's definitely the culprit. In the case of mod_dav_svn,
subversion takes the author name from the authenticated apache
request. In the case of local access, subversion takes the current
userid - or whatever is passed in by --username.

Hmm, can't see anything wrong with this - but I'm pretty damn tired
right now.

Well, you need to get apache asking for authentication - if it
doesn't, it's a problem in the apache configuration.

As to what the problem in the apache configuration really is - I have
no clue. Perhaps duplicate definitions, perhaps wrong config file,
perhaps there's something wrong in the above snippet, though there
shouldn't be.
