No, svn does not *use* WebDAV.  Apache has the ability to export an
SVN repository via WebDAV because svn *uses* the APR.  Regardless,
this has absolutely nothing to do with the statement that 'Trac and
svn are running as CGIs behind Apache".

I don't know what Trac is, but I know quite well what svn is and how
it works having once been the release manager for it.

My question is still unanswered.  How is svn running as a CGI behind
Apache?  This seems a non-sensical statement to me, unless you mean
there's a CGI run by Apache which invokes svn commands.

Or, do you mean WebSVN (which is quite different from svn) is being
run as a CGI from Apache?
