Really?  I don't know enough about apache to know if that's a bad thing, 
but it doesn't sound right to me...

On this machine USER=apache and HOME=/var/www for the apache user.  That's 
the way the Fedora install comes out of the box.

Note that httpd generally starts up as root but then switches to whatever 
user is set in httpd.conf "User" and "Group" elements (both of which are 
set to "apache" in Fedora installations), and all of the instances of httpd 
that get spawned by the initial httpd installation all get spawned as the 
apache user and group.

On some installations, httpd runs as user "nouser" (or "nobody") and group 
"nogroup", so I for sure don't know how chora would access 
/root/.subversion in that case.
