301 error on merging

   I'm getting a "301 Moved Permanently" error when trying to do a
merge on a small project. I've read the relevant entry in the FAQ on
the subject of 301s, and I believe that I don't have that particular
form of the problem.

   I am trying to merge two branches of my project, both with local
WCs:

hrm@selene:video-process.semantic $ svn merge -r 812:823 ../video-process
svn: GET of '/private/!svn/bc/812/video-process/trunk': 301 Moved Permanently (http://svn.darksatanic.net)

   I can sucessfully check out any part of the repository as a new WC,
but not do a merge. I can even view the URI above in a browser.

   The relevant VirtualHost config in Apache reads:

NameVirtualHost 10.2.0.18:80
<VirtualHost 10.2.0.18:80>
        ServerName svn.darksatanic.net
        ServerAdmin webmaster@darksatanic.net
        
        DocumentRoot /var/www/svn.darksatanic.net
        
        <Directory /var/www/svn.darksatanic.net>
                Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        include /etc/apache2/sites-available/svn-dav

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.svn.darksatanic.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.svn.darksatanic.log combined
        ServerSignature On

        UseCanonicalName off

</VirtualHost>

with the included svn-dav file being:

<Location /svn>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /usr/local/share/svn/main
        
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "Subversion"
        AuthDigestFile /var/www/auth/svn.darksatanic.net
        <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
                Require valid-user
        </LimitExcept>
</Location>

<Location /private>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /usr/local/share/svn/private
        
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "Subversion"
        AuthDigestFile /var/www/auth/svn.darksatanic.net-private
        Require valid-user
</Location>

   The problematic repository is the /private one. The listing of the
ServerRoot directory is:

hrm@varney:/var/www/svn.darksatanic.net$ ls -al
total 9
drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 112 2006-05-30 20:27 .
drwxrwxr-x 17 www-data www-data 680 2006-01-21 17:21 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 2005-02-25 15:41 favicon.ico
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrm www-data 657 2005-02-25 14:07 index.html

   I can't see anything which is clashing in the manner described by
the FAQ entry on this error message. Could someone tell me, please,
where it's going wrong.

   Hugo.
