svn 1.4.3: can't commit - MKACTIVITY of '...": 403 Forbidden

[Liu Yubao]

Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded our svn server from 1.2.1 to 1.4.3，now I find
I can't commit, TortoiseSVN 1.4.3 reports:

Commit faied(details follow):
MKACTIVITY of '...": 403 Forbidden

and the apache 2.0.54 error.log says:
Access denied: 'myusername' MKACTIVITY myrepos

I don't modify the original configuration files, after upgrade apache
can startup normally and I can browse the repository and check the logs.

I googled the web but have not found any explanation and solution.

Here is configuration for apache:
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath d:/path/to/svnroot
AuthType Basic
AuthName "auth name"
AuthUserFile d:/path/to/svn-auth-file
Require valid-user
AuthzSVNAccessFile d:/path/to/svn-access-file
</Location>

I get the reason, it seems 1.4.3 is not backward compatible enough with 1.2.1.
On the server side, the repos root directory is SVNROOT， but on the client
side, "svn info" shows http://...../svnroot，after I change the root directory
on the server side all works well.
