I'll try to go through more of the modules in /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf.

That would work too.

httpd_t *cannot* write to anything labelled with httpd_sys_content_t by
default, surely - that's the whole problem?

When I set up /var/www/svn as above, I get AVC messages like:

audit(1100636258.341:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=21318 
exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=__db.001 dev=hda2 ino=3169309
