I can't explain the error message you are getting, but I have my
ProxyPass in a VirtualHost:

<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:443>
  ServerName foo.bar.com
  ProxyRequests off
  SSLProxyEngine on
  ProxyPass / https://hostname/
  ProxyPassReverse / https://hostname/
</VirtualHost>

Note the "ProxyPassReverse"; you need this too.

I have the remote host name specified, not a directory name, because
HTTPS requests come in encrypted (including the directory name) and the
proxying host is not the one with the certificate. I have another
repository on port 80, unencrypted, and it has the same syntax in my
httpd.conf file. I'd have to go reread the book to remember why I did
that. :-)

The httpd.conf file on the destination host is in the conventional form
with Location commands for each repository.

I'm having some certificate problems, so I haven't verified that HTTPS
is actually working properly here, but I can check out and commit
remotely, so the proxying itself is working properly. (The certificate
has expired, and if it were being used, I should be asked to confirm
that I do want to use it - and yet I am not asked. Someday I'll have
enough time to figure out why.)
