First of all, thanks to everyone who offered advice on this.  I decided to go 
the http direction and it hasn't been much of a hassle.  The documentation is 
excellent and everything has worked as expected.  People will hopefully begin 
migrating tomorrow.

I have one question remaining.  I have set up everything and it all works, 
except I want to prevent anyone from accessing the repository using http (I 
have https working).  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Answered my own question (I was looking at mod_dav family documentation 
instead of mod_ssl family).  SSLRequireSSL seems to do what I need.
