The logic in your patch looks correct IF we accept that
dav_svn__get_root_dir() can return a non-canonical path. But if that's
the case, then we should document it as such:

[[[
Index: subversion/mod_dav_svn/dav_svn.h
===================================================================
--- subversion/mod_dav_svn/dav_svn.h (revision 910187)
+++ subversion/mod_dav_svn/dav_svn.h (working copy)
@@ -352,7 +352,7 @@
 /* Return the activities db */
 const char * dav_svn__get_activities_db(request_rec *r);
 
-/* Return the root directory */
+/* Return the root directory (not necessarily as a canonical path) */
 const char * dav_svn__get_root_dir(request_rec *r);

]]]

or if it's meant to be canonical, then we should fix that function
instead.
