CustomLog logs/svn-actions.log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION

I've even tried it using it as a pipe with rotatelog and that works fine
too:

CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs logs/svn-actions.log 86400" "%t %u
%{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION

Need to expand it a wee bit to get the repository name into the log as
well though.

Subject
how can I redirect Subversion/apache msgs to a new file
I asked yesterday about this but I think my original subject ("how to
customise Apache2 logs") wouldn't have caught the attention of
Subversion guys so apols for having to resend this...
I've tried following the subversion/svn example for putting svn-related
(over Apache/http) activities into a new log and decyphering the
actions, but nothing is appearing in my logfile (but it has been
created).
>From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html, it
says
 mod_dav_svn, however, can come to your aid. By activating an
 “operational logging” feature, you can ask mod_dav_svn to create a
 separate log file describing what sort of high-level operations your
 clients are performing.
 To do this, you need to make use of Apache's CustomLog directive 
 (which is explained in more detail in Apache's own documentation). Be
sure to
 invoke this directive outside of your Subversion Location block:
 <Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   …
 </Location>
 CustomLog logs/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION
 In this example, we're asking Apache to create a special logfile
 svn_logfile in the standard Apache logs directory. The %t and %u
 variables are replaced by the time and username of the request,
 respectively. The really important part are the two instances of
 SVN-ACTION. When Apache sees that variable, it substitutes the 
 value of the SVN-ACTION environment variable, which is automatically
set by
 mod_dav_svn whenever it detects a high-level client action.
I'm running Apache2 on Debian and I've added what I think is a suitable
CustomLog (I've tried both
 to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and/or
 to /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf):
                 CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u 
%{SVN-ACTION}e"
env=SVN-ACTION
 but although the file is created nothing is being added to it, and I'm
 still seeing copies of the Apache/svn cmds in apache2/access.log:
 michael_at_ratty:/usr/local/SUBVERSION$ tail /var/log/apache2/access.log
 veri.phy.umist.ac.uk - atmos_svn [11/Jan/2008:17:34:01 +0000]
 "PROPFIND /svn/atmos_modelling/OpenMP_2 HTTP/1.1" 207 463 "-"
"SVN/1.4.4
 (r25188) neon/0.25.5"
 {etc}
 Can anybody point out what I've overlooked?
Many thanks, Michael
