Thanks for the FAQ link! I've managed to get it to work by placing my
svn repository outside the scope of the DocumentRoot. That way, I CANNOT
get a listings the repositories at https://archivos/svn, but I can check
out the repository with:

  svn checkout https://localhost/svn/repos wc

My apache settings are:

  DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
  <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
    # etc.
  </Location>

Cheers,
Jerome
