In the interest of testing push against another DAV server implementation, I tried using Subversion's Apache DAV/DeltaV module. It works if you enable autoversioning and authentication, which makes for a slightly different minimal Apache setup:

LoadModule dav_module        modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module    modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module  modules/mod_authz_svn.so
<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /path/to/svn/repo
    SVNAutoversioning on
    AuthName "Subversion Repo"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile ....
    AuthGroupFile ....
    <LimitExcept GET>
        require ....
    </LimitExcept>
</Location>

While it's kind of useless to place immutable objects under version control, it is sort of an interesting side effect that all the meta files will have a history.
