This is true whether RepoName is 'sample' or 'example'. Of course, the only
thing mod_dav_svn needs to do in this case is to read the repository, and all
files and directories are readable by everyone, regardless of whether they are
owned by root or andy.
Looks normal to me. It's showing you there is a repository, and it is empty.
So the browser access mechanism has no commands to control a repository, only
to describe it?
It shows you the contents of the HEAD of the repository. There are also URL
parameters you can add to look at previous revisions of files. But that's about
it. If you want more detailed views into your repository, install a tool
dedicated to that purpose, like WebSVN, Trac or ViewVC.

Thank you for the three leads. I have installed all three from Ubuntu
and will try them out.
Logically this might make sense; however I would expect that
http://localhost/svn would be capable of listing the repositories
It is. You need to add "SVNListParentPath On" to your httpd configuration. Just
as directory listings are off in Apache by default for security reasons, so showing a
list of repositories is off by default in Subversion.
and creating new repositories.
Sorry, that's not a feature of the mod_dav_svn web interface. Administration
functions, like creating and deleting repositories and users, is expected to be
done by the sysadmin on the command line of the server. If you want a web
interface for that, there are other administration-oriented web interfaces you
could install, like SVNManager.

For some strange reason SVNManager is not available through the Ubuntu
Linux 11.04 distribution interface. So I'll hold off on that.
Thanks for the leads.
