We're not using Apache - the repositories are just served by 'svnserve'.
Or does 'svnserve' magically use part of Apache in a manner which we're
not expecting or aware of? Are we right in believing that 'svnserve' is a
completely stand-alone daemon?
But there is a little update which is even more confusing. I created
repositories Repo1 and Repo2 with the 'svnadmin create' command. Repo2 is
moved down one level into a normal directory immediately below the SVN
root and Repo1 is left in the 'normal' place. In this case
svn://www.example.com/Repo1
svn://www.example.com/Subdir/Repo2
svn://svn.example.com/Repo1
all work just fine, but
svn://svn.example.com/Subdir/Repo2
reports "repository not found".
