Binary packaging, which includes decisions about the location of HTTPd
configuration files, is up to the distribution maintainer (in the case
of Fedora, probably RedHat). The Subversion project only releases source
code, we do not release or maintain the subversion.conf file you
expected to see.

FWIW, the instructions on techadmin.net are misleading; it says there
(in step 3) that:

but Subversion doesn't do any such thing.

On the other hand, the file doesn't really have to exist; you can just
create it, the example configuration looks good enough for a simple
setup. I would recommend you take a look at svnbook.org, especially the
following sections:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.html
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.html

(that is, if you haven't read The Book already).
