I left intact the above and did not snip it because for some
reason, Daniel Walsh has encapsulated it with PGP?  Dunno,
beats me.

The following has to do with problems encountered while setting
up Apache and SubVersion.

1) If I do not install my SVN Repository to the recommened
   place of /var/www/ directory, SELinux blocks access.
   It does not matter if I have set the proper context
   (httpd_sys_content_t), and directory/file ownerships
   (apache.apache)  SElinux does not complain if the repository
   is in /var/www.  The SELinux error logs are provided for
   further examination by those who cares.

2) When I have properly configured my
   /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf file for access levels and
   permissions, I can go to my favorite browser, type in:
   http://localhost/svn (or whatever you set Location to). and it
   will prompt me for username and password, and will let me
   browse the SVN tree.

   My problem comes in when I do NOT use my browser, but
   instead use the command line, or try to access the SVN
   repository remotely or via Eclipse. None of these attempts
   work. For me, it *always* results in a ModSecurity error.

   I can however access my repository via file:/// access, I
   just cannot do with with http://  I have tested with setenforce
   and SELinux has nothing to do with this case as there is no
   audit log reports either way.

Summary
    SELinux is preventing access to files with the default label, default_t.

Detailed Description
    SELinux permission checks on files labeled default_t are being denied.
    These files/directories have the default label on them.  This can indicate
    a labeling problem, especially if the files being referred to  are not top
    level directories. Any files/directories under standard system directories,
    /usr, /var. /dev, /tmp, ..., should not be labeled with the default label.
    The default label is for files/directories which do not have a label on a
    parent directory. So if you create a new directory in / you might
    legitimately get this label.

Allowing Access
    If you want a confined domain to use these files you will probably need to
    relabel the file/directory with chcon. In some cases it is just easier to
    relabel the system, to relabel execute: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
