For the record - I've got it working with mod_dav_fs - easy enough once the permissions are set up properly. I tried mod_dav_svn but it did not immediately work - that may have been an incorrect configuration on my part. Periodically checking in the mod_dav_fs working directory to SVN or another backup system may be sufficient for our present purposes.
