Re: A question about client certificates

        You can configure Apache to require that anyone who connects must
have a valid client cert (SSLVerifyClient require). But that is not the
default. So as far as subversion is concerned, no one needs a client cert
unless you configure Apache to require it, and if you do, then subversion
would require it too.
