I'm the first to admit I'm no expert... so I would not be surprised or
offended to find I was asking for something really stupic.
My logic for supporting both protocols is, my understanding is that SVN
protocol can be substantially faster and I was planning to use this both as
the preferred protocol for dedicated SVN Clients and for maintenance
processes like SVNSYNC and SVNRDUMP. While, having access to the repos via
HTTP give me more universal access for myself and my clients when we just
need to read files potentially from locations that don't have any SVN client
installed and/or which are blocking access to locations through anything
other than HTTP protocols.
When I looked at Subversion edge and played with it a little it looked
really easy for setting up a completely new subversion server environment
with new repositories. It wasn't immediately obvious to me how I
would/could "attach" edge to existing repositories. I didn't really like
installing a completely separate Subversion, Apache stack when I already
have an apache and tomcat server running and figured I could just use what I
had already.
Again.... my lack of experience and knowledge here are probably painfully
obvious to everyone but me on these subjects.... ignorance is NOT always
bliss.

Sure... but I would question why you would want to do this. You are just
making more work for yourself and I don't see any advantage to providing
both protocols.
If you are looking for simpler management/upgrades I highly recommend
Subversion Edge. It's free and make things simple to setup and manage.
