Note that the 3rd option, using https:// with apache and mod_auth_krb
and using GSSAPI rather than SSPI isn't yet possible. That is, you can
only use the kerberos ticket you get from a domain login, you can't use
MIT Kerberos client to provide your ticket).

I've been pushing for this in any one of TortoiseSVN, Svn or the neon
libraries, but no joy so far...
