Or: where are your repositories on disk?
"Some" means multiple repositories. The above is one example. There are multiple Apache locations each pointing at its own repository. Foolishly I missed to replace "Location /wheregroup" with "Location /myproject" while anonymizing the example. The original SVNPath to the repo is "/data/svn/wheregroup", sorry for the confusion. > What is the URL that you're accessing? With the above Location the URL would be http://mysvnserver/wheregroup.
