Ignore AD's LDAP, if I may suggest. Rely on just the Kerberos
credentials to authenticate, underlying AD, and use svnserve.conf to
manage user and group privileges. This completely moves away from the
LDAP intricacies.

Just that I've frequently found AD's LDAP to be managed by monkeys
trying to write Hamlet by randomly clicking buttons on the screen.
Debugging it for them tends to raise the hackles of the people
administering it: pointing them to the RFC's or walking them through
how the underlying technology works can be really embarassing for all
concerned.
