Thanks, that makes sense.  I'm running a Content Management System 
(CMS) behind Apache and need Apache for SSL, ACL, and other TLAs

Yeah, I should have been a little less vague.  Here's the 
"different handling" part: 1) Apache to serve some pages for 
a subversion interface and 2) Apache to proxy some requests 
to the CMS server - both over the same SSL Virtual Host.

My guess is from what you're saying, that the RewriteCond is 
probably a clean way to do this. At least it's not obfuscated.

Yes, it's fine.  You could probably alternatively use
ProxyPass /svn !
ProxyPass / http://othersite/
which avoids mod_rewrite.
