No mention of the "r->method" nor "r->status_line" members nor any string
comparison with a method name appears anywhere else in mod_dav_svn. This
strikes me as odd, perhaps indicating that this is not the right way to detect
and set such an error.

Note that this code is within the "get resource" function, not within the
"create collection" function. Perhaps if it is being called with a "MKCOL"
method, it is being called wrongly.

Disclaimer: I have no mod_dav_svn knowledge; these are just observations.
