not for me either...I added the following, but it still doesn't help...
Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/var/svn/robots.txt
<Location /robots.txt>
SetHandler default-handler
allow from any ## added this
</Location>
I'm not an apache specialist at all, so I don't really like messing
around in a trial and error fashion too much...I'm getting our sysadmin
to have a look at it.
The other thing that occurred to me is that we are running wsvn, and web
bots and crawlers use those URLs heavily as well (I just looked in the
logs - they are there alright). So I should block /wsvn/ from our main
server as well....

I can see that this would work, but I think I will persevere more with
the current vhost config to see if we can't get apache to do the right
thing (i.e., what I want it to do;-)
Any more advice is welcome of course...
