Can you use client certificates? svn's configuration leads me to
believe it can send a client certificate when connecting via https.
I don't know if Apache will authenticate based on an SSL client
certificate, but quite honestly I would be surprised if it couldn't
or if somebody hasn't written a module to do it.
