Executing svn status shows exactly what I would expect.
It doesn't matter if I have 1 file/dir to add or many; the result is the
same: the problem.

I created a new "playground" repo, and I can't even add a top level dir.
The same problem occurs. For example, I did:
  svn mkdir main

svn status shows:
  A main

And svn commit -m "Add main dir." gives:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn/playground'
svn: The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse
error at line 1: no element found (/svn/playground)

What perms are needed for Apache/web-dav to respond to the OPTIONS command?
What feature in a firewall could block it?
