Bug Description

The Ubuntu Server Guide describes implementing http / webdav access to subversion. It states, "The above configuration snippet assumes that Subversion repositories are created under /home/svn/ directory using svnadmin command. They can be accessible using http://hostname/svn/repos_name url." I have found that I need to use SVNParentPath in the configuration (not SVNPath as shown in the guide) to provide access to repositories below the configured directory.

May I suggest the documentation is altered to describe this more clearly, either using SVNParentPath in the example configuration or stating that SVNPath must point to an actual repository, not the parent of several. The former seems more appropriate as a server is likely to be serving several repositories, not just one.
