Here's a patch against Subversion 1.3.0. Apply, recompile, reinstall,
stick the following in your apache conf before restarting:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /index.html
<Location ~ "^/(?!favicon|index|svnindex)">
  DAV svn
  SVNRootURI /
  SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn
  SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl"
  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
    Require valid-user
  </LimitExcept>
</Location>

(note that apachectl graceful won't do since you need to reload the
module)

The only caveat with this method is that / does not automatically
resolve into /index.html, hence the explicit redirect.

The final hunk may be redundant if dav_svn_resource_kind() never gets
called directly but only through dav_svn_get_resource(). I don't know
enough about mod_dav{,_svn} to tell, though.
