I'd rather use http than svnserve.

Here is the first problem.
There is no /etc/sysconfig/apache2 file.
When I create the file who should own it and what should the permissions be?
What is the syntax for APACHE_MODULES (or where do I look in the Apache docs)?
The official Subversion book says that somewhere httpd.conf needs to invoke
LoadModule dav_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
Apache2 recommends:
# Note: instead of adding your own configuration here, consider
# adding it in your own file (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.local)
# putting its name into APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in
# /etc/sysconfig/apache2 -- this will make system updates
# easier :)

Since it's on my linux workstation I'll add the Include on the virtual host so
everyone sees it.

Assume they came with the distro.

OK.
