Re: Webdav only works with SVNParentPath, not SVNPath

Yes, that is right.

In the SVNParentPath, every subdirectory is a repository, it contains
the required files for SVN (either FSFS or BDB).

Hence, if the location is called /svn and points on c:\work, the
subdirectory called svn in c:\work will be accessible as /svn/svn.
This is perfectly normal and expected. This allows to do what we do here:

/svn/sources
/svn/docs

both are subdirectories of a network drive, and there is only one
Location section in httpd.conf. this way, if tomorrow I want to add a
"marketing" repository, I simply create a subdir in the share with the
required files and it works straight ahead, no new httpd.conf, no restart.
