Hi Mark,

1) Yes, SVN does then work OK.

But I then get a 404 error from https://server/repos/

2) I am using the http://www.reposstyle.com/ style sheet, so each
repository root has an "Up" button in the HTML page that is served... I
wanted a blank directory listing with a quick ".." link for getting back
to the server root. The intention was not to reveal the repos names
whilst avoiding the dead link from the repo root folder.

I still don't really understand the need for this warning:

There is no folder "thereponame" in /srv/svn/html so nothing actually
conflicts.

If I removed the Alias, wouldn't there still be a
potential-but-not-in-fact conflict between a path on disk
/htdocs/repos/thereponame (which doesn't exist) and the repository URL
https://server/repos/thereponame/ ??

C.
