That depends on how you configure apache ~ our svn server on the
intranet uses https: and requires authentication before you get to see
anything on the site (controlled by mod_sspi lookup in active
directory). The svn areas are further protected by path based
authentication based on the username so only named users in the authz
file get to see svn data at all.
