 If you focus read access to svn repo, you cannot determine whether
HTTP access or svn repos access.

 You cannot determine GET semantics whether request to normal HTTP server
or SVN server because GET semantics of normal HTTP (1.1 method)
is same as that of WebDAV.

 But write access like checking in to svn repo, specific methods is sent
to svn server, and if you restrict such an access, you can set firewall or proxy
not to pass request of these methods ( i.e. CHECKOUT, PUT, MERGE,etc...)
