The reason for the special case for ra_dav is that unlike ra_local and
ra_svn, the DAV plugins make requests of mod_dav_svn for things that don't
map conceptually to Subversion repository filesystem paths. You don't
MKACTIVITY on a Subversion filesystem path. You don't ask for OPTIONS on a
Subversion filesystem path. And so on.

Now, it's not clear to me what, if any, value we have in maintaining this
distinction, but I don't think this is just a case of developer's
accidentally failing to notice an already existing error code before
creating a new one.
