Description

Currently mod_dav_svn takes its the root_dir parameter from the argument of the <Location> block where it's configured. This does not work if the argument is a regular expression, as in:

<Location ~ REGEX>
  DAV svn
  ...
</Location>

or

<LocationMatch REGEX>
  DAV svn
  ...
</LocationMatch>

In these cases, the root_dir parameter will be set to the actual regular expression, not the path matched in the request URL. Fixing this is rather essential for supporting expressions in mod_dav_svn.
