Description

Hi all,

I could not get the mod_dav_svn service to work properly with subversion-1.7.1
(as both a client and server on localhost) while the same Apache 2 config
works fine with subversion-1.6.x. I'm on Mageia Linux 2 (Cauldron) on x86-64.
I can fix it by adding «SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol off» to the <Location> of the
relevant DAV SVN (it doesn't work outside, and not supposed to).

The problematic symptoms is that "svn ci -m "Test commit"" hangs. Committing to
a file:/// repository works fine. I'm attaching an XChat2 log with danielsh
trying to debug the problem, and my httpd.conf.

The subversion was freshly built and compiled from the .rpm well after Apache 2
was installed. I tried commenting out all the possible LoadModule directives -
it didn't help.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Regards,

        Shlomi Fish
