Bug#504710: apache2.2-common: mod_auth_basic breaks svn path based authorizations

[Erwan David <erwan.david@trusted-logic.com>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch6
Severity: normal

Since last upgrades my subversion path based authorizations are broken.
Here is the setting :

A svn repository defined as follows in apache conf :

  <location /test>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /media/crypt/svn/repositories/test
    SVNAutoversioning on
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /media/crypt/svn/auth-files/test/auth
    Satisfy Any
    Require valid-user
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "SVN Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile /media/crypt/svn/admin/passwds
  </location>


A /media/crypt/svn/auth-files/test/auth as follows

[test:/]
admin = rw

[test:/sub]
user = rw

Since latest apache update, user cannot update his svn working copy, he gets a 
Error: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS   
Error: request for 'https://svn.domain.com/test'  
Finished!:

Since subversion did not change the change comes from latest apache2
authorization modules.
