I found in the end my problem was that I left <Location /repos>
even though my repository is in /var/www/svn .
When I changed this to <Location /svn> all worked fine.

I had been assuming - foolishly, I see now -
that /repos or /svn were just dummy names.

I'm still not entirely clear how httpd knows
that /svn means /var/www/svn .

I actually have
-----------------------------------------
<Location /svn>

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /var/www/svn/Maths
...
</Location>
-----------------------------------------
My project is in /var/www/svn/Maths/Penrose .

But what exactly does "Location /svn" mean?
Why not "Location /var/www/svn"?
