i want to write a module which uses the same logic as svnserve for
authentication. therefor i need to find the filesystem path of the
repository to read conf/svnserve.conf to find the passwd file.

what would be a proper way to get the path to it?

for my module it would be usefull if dav_svn_get_fs_path would be
public. or a similar function that just returns the repository path of
for the current request object.

right. because authz_svn only works against relative paths inside the
repository. it doesnt need the path to the repository on the disk.

if i just add a setting like AuthnSvnFile, mod_authn_svn would work so
well with svnparentpath.

i will read mod_authz_svn about the config parsing stuff.
but it doesnt help me to find the svnserve.conf and the passwd file.
