I'm not 100% sure on that part - previously I had setup a read+write SVN
repo over HTTPS (at $oldjob) so I went with the directions I had for
that, just adjusted for read-only.

Some Googling suggests that DAV is required. The official Subversion
book lists DAV as a requirement[1]. Wikipedia seems to suggest it's
required as well "Apache HTTP Server as network server, WebDAV/Delta-V
for protocol. There is also an independent server process called
svnserve that uses a custom protocol over TCP/IP."

If someone knows a trick to serve it up over HTTP without DAV that would
be good to know.

P.S. Realized I sent this directly, resending to the list, with an edit.
