confusing http.conf access control

From: solo turn <soloturn99_at_yahoo.com>

we used a configuration like (with more subdirectories for different
user groups):

<Location /svnrep>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /home/svn/svnrep
   SSLRequireSSL
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "svn user"
   AuthUserFile /usr/secret/passwords
   AuthGroupFile /usr/secret/groups
   Require group internal-developer
</Location>
<Location /svnrep/trunk/projects/proj1>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /home/svn/svnrep
   SSLRequireSSL
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "svn user"
   AuthUserFile /usr/secret/passwords
   AuthGroupFile /usr/secret/groups
   Require group proj1-grp
</Location>

the effect was, that mod_dav showed
/svnrep/trunk/projects/proj1/trunk/projects/proj1/correct-dir, and
moving correct-dir up to /svnrep/trunk/projects/proj1 showed it also
in the root (svnrep).

all the users were in all groups.

the more stable solution seems to be a configuration with:

<Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /usr/svn
   SSLRequireSSL
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "svn user"
   AuthUserFile /usr/secret/passwords
   AuthGroupFile /usr/secret/groups
   Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /svn/rep1>
   Require group all-developpers
</Location>
<Location /svn/rep1/trunk/projects/proj1>
   Require group proj1-grp
</Location>

if i'm right here, may i suggest 2 things:
- a rewrite (throw out unimportant confusing stuff,
  and extending by this) of the access control part
  of the book.
- a clean handling of the first (errenuous?) configuration.
