To all who responded to me -- Thanks! Based on hints from your responses I was able to track down the problems.
Here was my first problem =============== I created a subversion.conf file and put it in the /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d directory. WRONG!
What's needed is to put subversion.conf in /etc/apache2 and update /etc/sysconfig/apache2 to contain the line:
APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES="subversion.conf"
which will cause the proper include directive to be created.
THIS WAS NOT DESCRIBED properly in the README.SuSE file which simply said to put subversion.conf in /etc/apache2 and made no mention of APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES. (I moved it to sysconfig.d when it didn't work where it was.)
Indeed, the path is wrong in one place. Will be fixed. Thanks for the hint. Nevertheless, I should note that the top of the document lists the correct path in two places. _If_ you put the file into /etc/apache2/conf.d as the README describes, you don't need to add the path to APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES. Hence it is not mentioned at all.
Here was my second problem ================= VERY IMPORTANT! You need to install subversion-server even if you don't plan on using it! It contains the module mod_dav_svn.so for use by Apache.
No, if you don't want to use the server you don't need that module. So there is no point in installing the package. The module is only needed for the server. Peter
