Error found, repository at fails

So, I fixed my own problem, and I'm not sure if this is a bug or a design
feature. If it's the latter, a better error message is probably in order.

In apache2's httpd.conf, I had been doing my DAV svn and other configs in a
whole separate VirtualHost, inside <Location />. I did this because it was a
whole separate vhost, and I didn't see the need to add more stuff to the URL
than was necessary.

So, when importing by http, I was getting the error...

svn: Apache got a malformed URI                                                 
svn:                                                                            
The specified URI does not refer to this repository, so it is unusable. 

I tried a bunch of things, but what made it work was when I changed the
location to <Location /svn>, and it magically started working.

So, apparently you can't mount svn on /, as seen in both 2918 and 2977
builds.

If someone calls this a bug, I'll log it as such. If someone tells me it's a
design feature, I'll open a clearer error message as a bug :)

[ct@zen ~/svn/subversion]% svn info mod_dav_svn 
Path: mod_dav_svn
Url: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/mod_dav_svn
Revision: 2977

And I've verified that /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so

was updated last night (when I went from 2918 to 2977) has last night's
date, and running strings against it shows 0.14.1 in several locations

[ct@zen /usr/local/apache2/modules]% strings mod_dav_svn.so| grep 0.14
SVN/0.14.1 (dev build)

2918 reported 0.14.0, so I know that this is new.

Recent fixes to mod_dav_svn should have made repos rooting at /
possible.

Ensure that you are using the latest version.  -- justin
