location matching.

[Steve Wilson]

I've just had to move subversion onto a server that's already serving
network wordpress via nginx. Most things work via /svn in a subversion
client but I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop /svn.*\.php
hitting the fastcgi_pass.

I'm sure it's simple and I'm just not seeing the wood for the trees.

Here's the nginx access_log entry:
1.1.1.1 - - [12/May/2013:14:16:01 +0000] "OPTIONS /svn/live/s.php
HTTP/1.1" 404 47 "-" "SVN/1.7.8/TortoiseSVN-1.7.11.23600 neon/0.29.6"

server block:
