 I have in fact tried this, though I don't see how it relates to my
problem. I haven't had any problems with SSL itself, nor with
certificate validity; the only problem is with translating the
certificate ID into something authz_svn can use (via FakeBasicAuth).

 Yes, this works fine. I can correctly control access to static
webpages based on certificate ID with FakeBasicAuth. The problem seems
to be that the FakeBasicAuth authentication information is apparently
not passed from the HTTP request to any subrequests. This means that
regular HTTP GET requests are fine, but more complex requests (like
those created by a svn checkout) fail.

 Yes.
