Has anybody had any experience of this or would know where to start? I'm guessing it could be possible in the httpd config to deny access if the http request contains the revision, but I'm not sure what modules or config would allow this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The simplest method is to do an export/import to a new repository. and
start your history from scratch with that new repository. Leaving a
README.txt in place that points to the old versions would allow
authorized personnel to obtain the old erversions.
This *would* break your change history, and does nothing for any
svnsync maintained repositories people may have had. Related issues
have come up before with large binary objects accidentally stored in
Subversion, and confidential data accidentally stored in source
control.
