RedirectMatch Question

[Williams, James P2 (N-USA)]

I don't know the details but have seen Apache config files that included 
something like these lines.

   # workaround for authz and SVNListParentPath issue
   RedirectMatch ^(/svn)$ $1/

Here's an example.

   http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Subversion_Apache_LDAP

I think this just ensures URLs end in a trailing slash.  Does whatever "issue" 
this was trying to fix still exist?  How can I tell if I need to do this in my 
Apache config?

Thanks,

Jim
