We currently front with Apache 2.2 + mod_dav_svn + authn tied to AD
via mod_ldap + authz via mod_authz_svn.  Were happy with this.  Apart
from many CVS/RCS repos coming out of the woodwork, moving in, and
constraining the disk where we store repos.  ;)

Also fwiw, all clients are at least 1.5+ for merge info data purposes;
servers are 1.6+.

What was the format of the repo(s) during the 1.2 days when you hit
corruption issues?  bdb?  I believe that with 1.2, fsfs became the
default format for new repos ...
