Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for your reply! I ended up settling for black-and-white access for
WebSVN, manually hiding private repositories

This is what I ended up doing:

<VirtualHost *:80>
>   ServerAdmin p...@fusi0n.org
>   ServerName svn.eratech.ca
>   DocumentRoot /usr/share/websvn
>   DirectoryIndex wsvn.php
>   Alias /templates /usr/share/websvn/templates
>   Alias / /usr/share/websvn/wsvn.php/
>   <Directory /usr/share/websvn>
>     Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks +MultiViews
>     #Require valid-user
>     #Satisfy Any
>     #AuthType Digest
>     #AuthName "Subversion Repositories"
>     #AuthUserFile /var/repos/.svnpasswd.htdigest
>     #AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/repos/.svnpasswd
>   </Directory>
> </VirtualHost>
>
> NameVirtualHost *:443
> <VirtualHost *:443>
>   ServerAdmin p...@fusi0n.org
>   ServerName svn.eratech.ca
>   SSLEngine on
>   SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/svn.eratech.ca.crt
>   SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/svn.eratech.ca.key
>   SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/PositiveSSL.ca-bundle
>   <Location />
>     DAV svn
>     SVNListParentPath on
>     SVNParentPath /var/repos
>     AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/repos/.svnpasswd
>     Satisfy Any
>     Require valid-user
>     AuthType Digest
>     AuthName "Subversion Repositories"
>     AuthUserFile /var/repos/.svnpasswd.htdigest
>     SSLRequireSSL
>   </Location>
> </VirtualHost>
