   You can't use name-based virtual hosting for SSL servers.

   Because Apache has no-way of knowing which SSL certificate to
   negotiate with before any HTTP traffic crosses the wire,
   and the SSL negotiation occurs before HTTP too, Apache can
   only serve up one certificate per IP address.

   It's described in detail here:

     http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2005/02/17/apacheckbk.html

   along with some workarounds and their costs.

   You can configure a single virtual host like this, if you're
   prepared to have your users see warning messages about your
   certificates not matching:

   NameVirtualHost example.com:443
   <VirtualHost example.com:443>
     ServerName example.com
     ServerAlias example.org
     ServerAlias www.example.com

     .....
     ssl stuff....
     svn stuff....

   </VirtualHost>
