Re: svn not following redirects

This doesn't answer your question exactly, but ...

I haven't tried this with mod_dav_svn, but you could try using URL
rewriting instead of a redirect.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You probably want to use the PT flag for this kind of rewrite.
