Hi Matt, Paco;

I'm not sure if I'm disagreeing with the previous email or clarifying it. At
any rate, this is probably off-topic.

apache+svn+cas is possible, and can be secured.

One of the options for running subversion is to use apache as the svn
server, thereby allowing you to use any apache authentication modules.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html

In this case, even "non-browser" access (GUI clients and the command line
client) access the repository over HTTP(s) through apache.

By requiring authentication via mod_auth_cas in apache and not running
svnserve and securing the filesystem of the svn repository, the only way to
access the repository is through CAS.
