"service httpd reload" is enough for reloading the configuration files.
httpd can do this while already loaded into memory.

Observe we are in a thread about a mod_dav_svn update.
That is *not* a configuration file.
Reloading a module requires "service httpd restart".

Joe, what about a system variable somewhere that would flag if the 
administrator
wants an RPM update to restart the relevant service? Default "false", of 
course.
