Re: svn copy fails with 400 Bad request

I just ran across this issue in Subversion 1.5.5. Turns out that I was simply
missing "DAV svn" in my apache configuration.

Here is what my configuration looked like:

<LocationMatch />
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /var/svn/repositories
  SVNListParentPath on
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch /.+>
  #DAV svn
  #SVNParentPath /var/svn/repositories
  AuthzSVNAccessFile //etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svn_access_file
  Satisfy Any
  Require valid-user
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion repository"
  AuthUserFile //etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svn_auth_file
</LocationMatch>

Uncommenting "DAV svn" fixed the problem.
