Ah well, good try.
# ls -al /etc/svnauthfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 88 2011-01-18 13:21 /etc/svnauthfile

no, that is owned by apache too.

from the same machine as the repo,
[root@marge files]# svn import knots http://192.168.1.74/repos/files
-m "initial"
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response
to OPTIONS request for 'http://192.168.1.74/repos/files'

So although I can import using file:/// it also blocks me (as root)
when I use http://
Is it something in the apache setup?
