You're saying you can access your repository using http://<server>/
svn/myproduct even though there is no <Location /svn/> directive?
I assume someone else already set up a <Location /svn/> directive for
you and you just don't know it. Maybe another administrator, or maybe
your OS distribution provided it. Search *all* your Apache
configuration files, not just the main httpd.conf but also all extra
conf files it might include.
