subversion behind nginx

[Александр Кириллов]

Thanks for your answer, I suspected as much. Is there a more detailed
explanation of why the paths must match? Can it be helped with rewrite
rules, additional headers or changing subversion settings?

I can move subversion to / on an apache host but it's gonna be twice as
slow and the grand idea is to speed up subversion operations moving it to a
non-ssl backend.
