No, mod_dav_svn depends on the Apache2 API, and it will never be
backported to apache1. If you don't want to give up apache1, run
apache1 and apache2 side-by-side. Or use svnserve instead of apache.

Is this an example of what you think it is?
I understood the above to mean that mod_dav_svn was written for an API
that didn't exist until Apache2. No Apache1->Apache2 compatibility
strategy could make code written specifically for Apache2 work in
Apache1. I mean, the point of release 2 is that it has new
stuff... If you depend on the new stuff, then you don't work with just
the old stuff.

A fine example of the costs of uncontrolled API drift. A deprecation
strategy for API drift would have left the Apache1 mod APIs working in
Apache2, only removing them in Apache3.
