Subversion at Root?

Is this possible?

We currently have our subversion repositories available from the root of
the web server so that, for example, a repository called repo is
available at http://myhost/repo .

We are using  <Location / > and including a parent path so that any new
repository I put in the parent directory is available as
http://myhost/whatever

We've been going on like this for a while and I like it. But, now I want
to do some non-svn web stuff with this web server.  I'd like to be able
to now have regular web content served up from another directory, maybe
at http://myhost/info or something.  

But if I create an Alias, it doesn't keep the system from trying
subversion stuff on http://myhost/info calls.

-->John

It would probably be best to then move your Subversion repository to / 
svn on the server, set that up using <Location /svn/>, and relocate  
all your working copies over to that new location. Or you could set  
up a totally separate vhost (svn.myhost).

If you insisted on getting it to work without changing the repository  
URL, this recent discussion and a patch to Subversion should help:
