The 'root' I'm referring to has nothing to do with virtual httpd.conf
<Location>s. mod_dav_svn is validating the absolute repository path
which is the 'root' of the tree you want, e.g. something like
/projectname/trunk/

That's why I'm surprised. I mean, you're not doing any kind of
per-directory access control within your repository (with mod_authz_svn,
or whatever). So, in theory, I don't understand why you would *ever*
get read-access failure on a specific inner-repository path.

Naw, this is pretty standard. It's the same situation when you run our
python regression tests over http://. So it were a problem, we should
have seen it already.

There's something unique about your system, something we've never seen
before.
