Block access to .svn folders

Here are three ways in Apache to block access to the .svn folders.

With access controls:

<Directory ~ "\.svn">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Directory>

With rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\\.svn/ - [F,L]

With redirect:

RedirectMatch 404 /\\.svn(/|$)

These come from the excellent MDLog:/sysadmin blog at:
