I think the best way to do this is write a little script (in
PHP/Python/Perl/Apache module/whatever) that takes the request and maps
it onto a repository resource.

Otherwise you might have difficulty getting index.html to be used for
directories, and so on.

PHP example (/htdocs/repos.php)

<?php
     /* This script is totally experimental: I typed it directly
        into this e-mail message without testing.
        You need somehow to get this to run for every request, e.g.:
        ErrorDocument 404 /repos.php

     //TODO: some other checking of arguments?
     //TODO: if a directory doesn't contain index.html, you'll get a
     // 404 error.

     /* name is the URI requested. */
     $name = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

     /* if a directory is asked for, append 'index.html' (if a directory
        with the trailing slash is asked for, mod_dav_svn should give a
        response redirecting to the directory with a slash appended. */
     if (ereg('/^, $name))
         $name = $name . 'index.html';

     /* internally redirect to mod_dav_svn. */
     virtual ('/repos' . $name);

     //TODO: return value?
?>
