Version: 0.8.9 and earlier.

Symptom: Apache does not apply any AllowOverride directives in access.conf
to the specified directory, but only to sub-directories.

e.g.
<Directory /web>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory /web/public>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

Gives the default allowoverride to /web, and 'All' to /web/public.

I noticed this by observing that with
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

Apache was still looking for /.htaccess

A patch is supplied.
