I have a particular problem with subversion.

Environment: subversion (1.6.12dfsg-6), apache2 (2.2.16-6+squeeze7) + mod dav_svn.

I can't create a directory named "mysql" or "testmysql" or add and commit a file named "mysql.txt" in my repository.

There are many references to "subversion PROPSET 403 forbidden" problems in google and so on.

But I can use all functions of subversion. I can also create a directory named "hugo" or "test". My repository works properly.

Only "mysql" doesn't work.

The following errors occur:

The server encountered an unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to the 
request for MKCOL »/svn/repository/!svn/wrk/8123484e-8890-412d-92ed-62ceabcd4189
/etc/mysql" returned

Thanks for any advice.
