Unexpected behaviour with SVNPath/SVNParentPath mixture

Hi,

we're trying to set up the following config:

http://svnserver/svn/parentpathtest
                                                 |- repo1
                                                 |- repo2
                                                 \- repo3

The internal users of the project are supposed to be able to access all three repositories, while a bunch of external users are supposed to be able to access only repo2. We've been trying to achieve this with the following config:

<Location /svn/parentpathtest>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /subversion/parentpathtest
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Repository /svn/parentpathtest"
  Require ldap-group CN=pr_parent,OU=Groups,DC=sub,DC=example,DC=com
</Location>

<Location /svn/parentpathtest/repo2>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /subversion/parentpathtest/repo2
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Repository /svn/parentpathtest/repo2"
  Require ldap-group CN=pr_parent_ext,OU=Groups,DC=sub,DC=example,DC=com
</Location>

According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/sections.html#mergin , this should be possible, with the latter <Location> overwriting the former. The intended config is much larger, with about 100 repos under parentpathtest and about 20 location-Tags with extended permissions and the project having permission to add new repositories on their own, so just going the route with fully specifying all locations with just SVNPath would be inconvenient.

Unfortunately, this seems to cause some weird doubling of a path component:

ulja2852@er00483p:~/tmp/parentpathtest/repo2$ svn co http://svn/svn/parentpathtest/repo2/module_template/trunk/
Authentication realm: <http://svn:80> Repository /svn/parentpathtest/repo2
Password for 'xxxx':
svn: '/svn/parentpathtest/repo2/repo2/!svn/vcc/default' path not found

This happens in various combinations of trailing slashes in URL or config (some cause to match the main Location instead).

I tried to find out what happened with Wireshark (follow tcp stream, cleaned up/anonymized the output with <xxx>):

-----------------------------------------------------

It seems something doubles the repo2 component of the path, and the something is server-side.

Client is running svn-1.6.12, server is running svn-1.6.11.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards
