Hi,
I have basic authentication working for svn on apache 2.2.  When I try to switch it to digest authenticated it does not work.

Configuration with Digest Authentication:
<Location /svn>
            DAV svn
            SVNListParentPath on
            SVNParentPath C:\server\repos
            AuthType Digest
            AuthName “Repos”
            AuthDigestDomain /svn
            AuthUserFile  C:\test\ auth_file
            Require valid-user
</Location>

Error Log:
[Thu Mar 12 09:24:03 2009] [error] [client 79.180.232.71] Digest: user `user1' in realm `\x93Repos\x94' not found: /svn/root/proj/

I added user1 to the digest file with this command:
C:\test >htdigest -c svn_authd_file "Repos" user1
Adding password for user1 in realm ΓÇ£ReposΓÇ¥.
New password: ********
Re-type new password: ********

I tried it without the quotes around realm as well

Configuration with Basic Authentication:
<Location /svn>
            DAV svn
            SVNListParentPath on
            SVNParentPath C:\server\repos
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName “Repos”
            AuthUserFile  C:\test\auth_file
            Require valid-user
</Location>

Any help would be appreciated.

I see strange characters, in your Apache logfile and in your email, as 

quotes around "Repos". \x93 and \x94 (as indicated in the logfile), are 

not standard double-quotes.  Their byte value would tend to indicate 

that they are some kind of character > 128 decimal ASCII.

I believe this may have to do with your issue.
What editor are you using to edit your configuration file ?
