According to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html (and my own files), the repository folder comes before the in-repo folder.

So, in your example above: "folder1" would be the on-disk folder under ParentPath for the repo data files, whilst "repo1" would be a top-level folder name within the repository structure.

I'm not sure from your names if that is what your example is showing?
