I've taken a look at our repositories. I am using 1.5.0 RC9 behind
Apache server.
All repositories were recently created by version 1.5 and loaded
from dumps.
The summary is following:
1. The /dav subfolder is not present in
- new empty repositories, created by "svnadmin create"
- repositories, loaded from dumps, but where no new commits were made yet
- repositories, that were served by svnserve instead of Apache
2. The /dav subfolder is present in
- repositories, served by Apache server, where recent commits were done
Thus I can draw a conclusion that it was created on first commit
performed through Apache.
The /dav folder itself is not empty, it has a subfolder,
"/dav/activities.d".
The /dav/activities.d subfolder itself is empty.
I hope that this information will help you.
