New submission from Doug Shea <douglas.shea at navteq.com>:
We have our Subversion server set up in such a way that the root (http://chi-td-svn/) is NOT Subversion, but the repositories under it ARE (http://chi-td-
svn/nvtdetect/). When I try to convert this to an HG repository, it sends SVN commands to that root URL, which fail. Example:
D:\code>hg convert http://chi-td-svn/nvtdetect/ fr_hg
scanning source...
sorting...
converting...
** unknown exception encountered, details follow

svn.core.SubversionException: ("PROPFIND of '/nvtdetect/branches/multifeature/doc/Model.vsd': could not connect to server (http://chi-td-svn)", 175002)
An example similar to our Apache configuration, explaining why we're set up this way:
<Location "/">
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthType Basic
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthName "NAVTEQ Subversion"
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ad.navteq.com:3268/DC=ad,DC=navteq,DC=com?sAMAccountName
AuthLDAPBindDN not-the-real-account
AuthLDAPBindPassword not-the-real-password
require valid-user
</Location>
<Location "/nvtdetect">
DAV svn
SVNPath /subversion/repositories/nvtdetect
SVNIndexXSLT /svnindex.xsl
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require ldap-group CN=Group1,OU=Groups,OU=HQ,DC=ad,DC=navteq,DC=com
Require ldap-group CN=Group2,OU=Groups,OU=HQ,DC=ad,DC=navteq,DC=com
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
This setup requires a user have an AD account to authenticate for read-only access to all repositories, and then allows us to set up per-repository
authorization for commit actions, based on group membership. The drawback is that the HTTP root is not handled by SVN itself, thus causing your convert to
fail.
