+
+<p>Subversion 1.7.5 is the first release that supports httpd
+2.4. Since httpd 2.2 and httpd 2.4 are binary incompatible Subversion
+must be built to use one or the other. The processor/threading
+behaviour in httpd is controlled by the multi-processing-module or
+MPM.  In 2.2 the MPM is fixed when httpd is built, in 2.4 the MPM can
+be dynamically loaded like other modules.  On Unix-like systems the
+default MPM in 2.2 is the worker MPM and in 2.4 the event MPM (binary
+distributions may choose other defaults). The event MPM is
+incompatible with Subversion's BDB backend so mod_dav_svn will refuse
+to open BDB repositories, and log an error, when using the event MPM.</p>
