So I find myself battling with this misconception again. This time I
have ProxyPass and DAV svn standing on each other's toes. One server
configuration with directives:

<Location /repos/>
  DAV svn
  ...
</Location>

<Location />
  ProxyPass http://localhost:8081/
  ...
</Location>

And, of course, what happens is that requests for /repos/ get handled
by the server running on 8081 which returns 404.

To make matters more mysterious, the /repos/ location is protected
using Basic authentication. When you visit the /repos/ URL you *do*
get challenged for your credentials and it's able to authenticate
correctly. But, upon successful authentication, the /repos/ URL gets
handled by the server running on 8081.

Any ideas how I should configure this? It feels like I want to break
after successfully matching a URL. But I'm not sure Apache thinks like
this.
