I have subversion working fine on Breezy, but I dist-upgraded from
Hoary. I'm looking at my configs and I don't any anything
subversion-related in inetd.conf, and all of the config files in
/etc/subversion have nothing but comments. However, I use subversion
via file:/// and http:/// urls. My /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file has
the following:

<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /home/svn
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Eamonn's Repository"
    AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd
    <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
      Require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Hope that helps.
