incorrect apache configuration in subversion page

[Jeremy Hare]

In the "Access via WebDAV protocol (http://)" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/subversion.html
it has

SVNPath /home/svn

This should be

SVNParentPath /home/svn

This will let you to access repositories that are created under /home/svn. If you use SVNPath it assumes that /home/svn is a repository.

Thanks for your bug report and your references.
This issue is already fixed in the 13.10 Serverguide, and the development 14.04 branch.

I do not know if someone will backport it to the 12.04 serverguide or not.
