Have you tried svn cleanup?

I should think that for this having any effect there should be a
relevant <Directory /> section with
AllowOverride [All or a combination from Options FileInfo
AuthConfig Limit]
for the folder you want to serve with Apache.

Basically this is what we have, too.
But is the rejected .htaccess file in any way relevant to the
/srv/svn/repos/Project path? FWIW we have hundreds of .htaccess
files in our web projects and commit them w/o issues via Apache
2.0.63 (and earlier). The working copy folders have some
AllowOverride setting of course to allow for local testing, but as
siad this should have no bearing for SVN commits.
