Why should it request that at all? You can anonymously checkout the
code, can't you?

I just updated all my OSGeo SVN repos I am following, no problem at all.

Another test, on Fedora 27:

[mneteler at oboe ~ ]$ mkdir bla
[mneteler at oboe ~ ]$ cd bla
[mneteler at oboe bla ]$ svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-promo
A    grass-promo/grasslogo
A    grass-promo/screenshots
A    grass-promo/screenshots/wxpython
A    grass-promo/screenshots/wxpython/location_wizard
A    grass-promo/screenshots/wxpython/general
A    grass-promo/screenshots/wxpython/digitization
A    grass-promo/grassflyer
A    grass-promo/grassflyer/flyer1
A    grass-promo/grassflyer/flyer1/es
A    grass-promo/grasslogo/ascii_logo_bold.svg

...

It does not ask me to accept the certificate nor should it (IMHO)!
Maybe some local issue at your end with the certificate introducing
other troubles?
Or, it was a temporary problem?
