If you really do not mind Subversion displaying an error for non-SSL requests, 
then your solution is very easy.  Just move your configuration for /svn inside 
of your SSL <VirtualHost> configuration.  Non-SSL Subversion requests would 
fail with a 404 error, non-SSL requests elsewhere on your site would be 
unaffected.
