Somehow I don't like the idea on depending on Apache for everything.
Even for the reason that in case of slashdoting we won't be able to
commit stuff.

Not to say that an single apache/module  vulnerablility could lead to
compromise of the whole reposity.

Also I personally dislike the svn http anonymous fetching. Long time
ago i didn't compile the optional lib (dav?) and I had to download the
whole source tree everytime, because svn reposity was http only.
