No, it's not... (So you don't have to look any further)

mod_dav_svn will use the version against which your Apache has been
built, regardless of whether you built it against 0.9.12, so, if you
use the system-delivered Apache, I'd say you're using 0.9.6...
I just verified: yes, you do need at least 0.9.7 which contains the
fix for buffered files to fix the low-disk condition.
You should be able to replace the 0.9.6 image without problems with
the 0.9.12 image though: APR is designed to be 100% backward
compatible.
HTH,
Erik.
