This happens to have the side effect of making OPTIONS return a 404 when
running under SVNParentPath and the repo path doesn't exist. Technically I
don't think we should ever return an error to OPTIONS requests, but mod_dav_svn
doesn't provide us a way to say not to handle the OPTIONS request (and thus
fall back to httpd's default OPTIONS handler).
Not sure this is really a problem but thought I'd point out the possible HTTP
compliance issue here. I ran into this when I was doing some other work
lately, but decided I didn't care because this behavior already existed, just
noticed this commit today which introduced the behavior. Given that it's not
long standing behavior I'm not sure what we should do.
