I think we may have once had support with Collabnet but just used the
stock Centos binaries, and later switched to Wandisco to use their
authentication proxy against AD because it was getting cumbersome to
manage passwords and the authz file. I wasn't very involved in
choosing that part but don't think there were any problems involved
before or after the change. But, we still have a mix of http:// and
svn:// access for an assortment of complicated reasons and I'm just
looking to move it from CentOS5 to something newer without breaking
anything.

That may be a wise choice if the issue is really a bug in the stock
version's mod_dav module. Given the redhat/centos policy of not
changing behavior of things for the life of a major revision it's hard
to guess when/if it might be fixed. But, the path of least resistance
here might be to move to CentOS6 where the wandisco 1.8.x rpms would
just drop in and work and we'd be good for several more years with
minimal changes to the configuration.

Thanks for commenting, though - I'm still trying to understand all of
the options.
