meaningful error messages in http

Hi all,

I am serving our repositories over https, using Apache 2.2, via mod_dav_svn,
also using mod_authz_svn for per directory access control. Most users find
the error messages cryptic (when there is a permission related error on
checkout, commit, so on...) and I am wondering if there is a way to
customize these messages?

For example, current (default?) set up spits out the following:

*If checkout fails due to insufficient permissions:*
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to
OPTIONS request for 'https://my.cool.server/foo/trunk'

*If checkout fails due to spelling error in repository* *name:*
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to
OPTIONS request for 'https://my.cool.server/f00/trunk'

*If commit fails due to insufficient permissions:*
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to
MKACTIVITY request for
'/svn/site-macros/!svn/act/d5936c16-fd56-4f62-a9f1-b1285bea6c7'

Thanks for any leads,
Nick
