Thanks for your attention.
Problems is now solved.
In fact when selinux is in mode enforcing the repository directory used by
apache need to be labelled with a context which httpd can write to.
By default this is the case under directory /var/www.
So I relocate subversion repository directory in a new directory created with
root and called /var/www/svn. Now svn is working with selinux enforcing.
 
Bye,
