I don't think so, because the XML data and the XSLT stylesheet are both sent to the browser which puts them together to display them; a user could easily circumvent a stylesheet by viewing the XML source directly.

If you're using SVNParentPath but don't want to show the list of repositories, you simply don't set "SVNListParentPath on".

The directive "Alias /repos /srv/svn/html" matches all locations that *begin* with "/repos"; sounds like what you really want is to match only the locations "/repos" and "/repos/" exactly. For that you should be able to use something like:

AliasMatch ^/repos/?$ /srv/svn/html

Or:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/repos$ /repos/
AliasMatch ^/repos/$ /srv/svn/html

If the index.html page in that directory references any assets (stylesheets, images) in the same folder they won't work because the AliasMatch doesn't know about them. You could either list those assets in the AliasMatch too, or just reference assets from elsewhere on your server.
