    Description

      The 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 clients (tested with Linux and OS X command line and
      Windows TortoiseSVN, though not every possible version-OS combination) do not
      allow anonymous users to check out a public directory in a repository hosted by
      the 1.6.11 (CentOS) server, if the root of the repository is not publicly
      readable.
      
      
      Complete steps to set up a server to reproduce:
      (Using HTTP for testing but the behavior is the same if HTTPS is used.)
      
      1. Start a fresh CentOS 6.4 VM and run sudo yum install mod_dav_svn subversion httpd
      (I tested with mod_dav_svn-1.6.11-9.el6_4.x86_64,
      subversion-1.6.11-9.el6_4.x86_64, and httpd-2.2.15-29.el6_4.x86_64)
      
      2. Open port 80, set ServerName in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
      
      3. Put the following in /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf:
      -- begin --
      LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
      LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so
      
      <Location /svn>
         DAV svn
         SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
         AuthType Basic
         AuthName "SVN Realm"
         AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf
         AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-acl-conf
         Satisfy Any
         Require valid-user
      </Location>
      -- end --
      
      4. Set password for one user via sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-conf testadmin
      
      5. Put the following in /etc/svn-acl-conf:
      -- begin --
      [/]
      testadmin = rw
      * =
      [myrepo:/trunk]
      testadmin = rw
      * = r
      -- end --
      
      6. sudo svnadmin create /var/www/svn/myrepo
      
      7. Import an initial revision containing the trunk directory
      
      8. sudo service httpd start
      
      
      Symptom:
      
      With an 1.8.1 client,
      
      $ svn co http://example.com/svn/myrepo/trunk
      -> Requires username/password, unexpectedly
      
      $ svn co http://example.com/svn/myrepo
      -> Requires username/password, as expected
      
      $ svn list http://example.com/svn/myrepo/trunk
      -> Succeeds without username/password.
      
      Whereas, with an 1.6.18 (neon), 1.7.11 (neon), or 1.7.11 (serf) client,
      
      $ svn co http://example.com/svn/myrepo/trunk
      -> Succeeds without username/password, as expected
      
      
      Access log for successful checkout with 1.7.11 (neon) client:

      I have not tested with server 1.7.x (sorry).
