Does SVN work for you at all? Usually this would mean your'e behind a
proxy which blocks PROPFIND access, so you can't check out any SVN;
have you tried on a different network, or using a different HTTP proxy
or anything else? 

This works for me.

"Whenever they're done." 2.x is likely "next 6 months", 3.x is likely
"before the sun explodes", but those are rough estimates.

OpenLayers core/trunk is not maintained in git, just our playground for 3.x.
As such, the way to checkout the current 2.x work is via SVN.
