1 word: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Yes, I merely skimmed that chapter as limited references from
Apache-Config section (ch6) referred back to it :o)
I just tried the post-commit hook script and it works like a charm! I
had no idea repositories had that built-in (with documentation to boot)!
Thank you, Ben, for all your help and patience.
Now that I have a clean Apache+SVN configuration, I guess it's time to
actually develop those client-paid projects, eh?!
Happy MLK :o)

Excellent. This problem is completely unrelated to autoversioning.
For example, I keep my personal website in a private repository on
red-bean.com. I check out a working copy of the website to my local
machine, make edits, then commit. When the commit enters the
repository, a post-commit hook script is automatically run which
executes 'svn update' on ~sussman/public_html/, which is a *different*
working copy. It just happens to be a working that's visible to the
world.

The "DAV svn" directive means: "make a DAV share available to the
world, but use a subversion repository as the filesystem." There is
*no* filesystem; the svn repository is just a database that can pose as
an imaginary filesystem to applications.

Read chapter 5, "hook scripts". It's a feature of any repository. It
has nothing to do with apache, or dav, or autoversioning. Hook scripts
work over any access method: file:///, svn://, etc.

You want to access *everything* as DAV shares? All the repositories
and all the working copies? Why? That seems a bit strange to me.

This exports the directory d:\htdocs\webdav as a normal DAV share.
Subversion isn't involved at all. It's just a coincidence that the
directory happens to contain .svn/ folders. Nobody's paying attention
to them.

This makes the *repository* available as an autoversioning DAV share.
So both of your configs here look fine to me.
