Here you go. Maybe I'm getting too clever with mod_rewrite to try to
get both subversion and viewvc served at the root url?

####### Begin extract from httpd.conf ##########

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:443>
# omitted logging, ssl config
RewriteEngine on

# VIEWVC
# Viewvc uses GET, while SVN uses other things
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$
# Okay, handle this with viewvc
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/userid/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi/$1 [H=cgi-script,L]

<Directory /home/userid/viewvc/bin/cgi>
Options +ExecCGI +Includes
</Directory>
AddOutputFilterByType INCLUDES text/html

<Location />
# for viewvc:
Options +Includes

# SVN - assume anything that gets past the Rewrite stuff is svn
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/userid/svnrepository
AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/userid/svnrepository/conf/authz

# AUTH applies to it all the same
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Satisfy All
AuthName w3
AuthType basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap file
AuthUserFile /home/userid/svnrepository/conf/svnpasswd
AuthLDAPUrl ldaps://ldapserver.com/ou=org,o=example.com?mail?sub? SSL
# Any valid LDAP id/password, or user in the svnpasswd, file gets past this part
# Then subversion will validate access to the repository itself
require valid-user
</Location>
</Virtualhost>
####### End extract from httpd.conf ##########

Maybe this is one for the doc? Or did I just miss it in there?
