using mod rewrite

I have mod_dav and authz_svn set up and working fine. A virtual host exists as below.

I have a set of documents that I want to move to a top level. Clients are set up only to use the subdirectories, i.e. set up as svn co https://svn.compnay.com/config. One group of users is using svn+ssh and I want to move them to https to leverage better access control. I also want to move their files in /config/compliance to /compliance. I cannot do this at once as it will disrupt their access. for the time being I want to move them to https://svn.company/config/compliance but set them up as https://svn.company.com/complaince and within apache redirect https://svn.company.com/config/complaince to https://svn.company.com/compliance. Then when the time is right svn move the config/compliance to compliance and add a <Location> section in apache to replace the re-write rules and the user will carry on almost oblibious to the change. However I cannot get the re-write rules to work with SVN -Dav. The commented out re-write rules end with a https::/svn.company.com/compliance does not exist and using Re-write rules in a <Location> section is not recommended by apache.

Can any one suggest how I can achieve the mapping of config/compliance -> compliance?
