RE: mod_dav_svn: MERGE request failed xx-x.txn/props No such file or directory

I would love to, but not sure where to start... basically... I've been using
svnserve (which still works). Recently I've installed trac, and as a result
had to recompile a bunch of stuff (including subversion) using custom paths.

When subversion 1.3.1 came out, I've recompiled and reinstalled that as
well.

I also wanted to set up read only access for a developer, so I've decided to
set up svn to work with apache.

I deleted out the svn* files from /usr/bin as those where 1.3.0, and I'm now
using the ones from /usr/local/bin

[root@s68659 root]# which svn
/usr/local/bin/svn

[root@s68659 root]# svn --version
svn, version 1.3.1 (r19032)
   compiled Apr 4 2006, 11:45:24

for testing I've setup a test repository and gave full permissions to
apache. I've also chmoded everything to 777.

[root@s68659 svn]# ls -la test3
total 36
drwxrwxrwx 7 apache apache 4096 Apr 4 14:28 .
drwxrwxr-x 13 svn svn 4096 Apr 4 14:28 ..

It might be... but like you said, if it is a bug, one this blatantly
obvious should have been reported years ago. The only way we can
really diagnose it is if you can come up with a reproduction recipe.
Give us an exact series of steps to reproduce.
