Thanks for the response!
I was surpised :-)
I've suggested that protocol between SVN client and mod_dav_svn
most probably are not cacheable.
But, SVN repositiry could be also accessed for casual HTTP browsing.
As I understand in this case the browser request by GET method.
And during such browsing the repository via Firefox or IE,
mod_dav_svn can generate Last-Modified header since it really
knows that information.

I'm not subscribed to dev@ right at the moment.
Generally, I don't feel myself skilled enough to talk in dev@
with gurus ;-)
