Mongrel steals my requests for my subversion repo

the kind folks on irc have tried to solve this for awhile and we have gotten very close to the problem.

My config file for apache is working, except mongrel tries to interpret my request (myserver.com/svn) as a request for a page on my site, and, not finding anything, returns a 404.

Basically, if i turn the rewrite engine off, then my svn works great. however, it seems like this would be a common problem and i thought i would ask here if there is something simpler than me writing a custom RewriteRule.

thanks for any help.

I suggest you fix this by forcing Apache to process the SVN urls here. Create your REWRITE rule to catch the SVN requests and stop it [L] from being processed in subsequent rules.
