      .`httpd` works correctly if a DAV repository location is configured by using a regular expression match

      Previously, if a Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) repository was configured in the Apache HTTP Server by using a regular expression match (such as `LocationMatch`), the `mod_dav` `httpd` module was unable to determine the root of the repository from the path name. As a consequence, `httpd` did not handle requests from third-party providers (for example, Subversion's `mod_dav_svn` module).

      With this update, you can specify the repository root path by using the new `DevBasePath` directive in the `httpd.conf` file. For example:

      ----
      <LocationMatch "^/repos/">
          DAV svn
          DavBasePath /repos
          SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
      </LocationMatch>
      ----

      As a result, `httpd` handles requests correctly if a DAV repository location is configured by using a regular expression match.

      Description of problem:

      When using mod_dav_svn in an LocationMatch block the repository path passed down to mod_dav_svn is incorrect. This looks very similar to https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35077.
