Yes, I've seen this on other stuff.
SVN will whine if the cert doesn't match the website name, but you can
tell SVN to accept it.

Being self signed is not a big deal, it causes one whine message at
first, but you can say "accept this permenantly" and all is good.

I'm not sure that using IP addresses works. Since its internal, setup a
DNS record to resolve it.

This stuff is very picky, and its been a while since I chased it down,
so I don't guarentee that my memory is right. But I think you are in the
right area now.
