As far as I can see mod_security explicitly allowed the PROPFIND
request per the modsec_audit.log entry above. Therefore I can't see this
being a mod_security issue :-).

I suspect that there's something in the subversion/mod_svn
configuration setup you have that's not working as you expect it to. If
you can post it perhaps myself and other list readers can debug it?

Based on what you've given, these might be things to start looking at:

- Is your certificate self-signed / private CA? You may wish to tweak
mod_ssl.conf to point to extra CA certificates / directory paths
- What values do you have for SVNPath / SVNParentPath? in your Apache
config?
