I'm not too familiar with apache, but I'm going to say "no", which I conclude from this:

$ cd /Library/Server/Web/
$ grep -R -i SSLVerifyClient *

which finds nothing.

Is that a setting I should want set to something in particular?

I edited ~/.subversion/config and uncommented "ssl-client-cert-file-prompt" and set it to "yes". Still got E120171.

I see you are @wandisco. Do your svn binaries have a built-in statically linked version of OpenSSL or do they use the OS's version?

Cheers,
