Any method of authentication you can use with apache, you can use with
mod_dav_svn. Well, if you're then using authz it has to be a method that
yields a username, but that's the vast majority of them. mod_ssl can do
client certificate auth, IIRC, but I'm not sure what you mean by "public
key". It's either public/private, or shared secret.
