[SAC] Subversion is 403 right now

[Jason Birch]

I think that it should be re-enabled, at least long enough to switch the sites over to SSL.
 
However, I think a better solution would be to make svn.osgeo.org its own virtual server, rather than relying on an alias within www.osgeo.org.  This would have the desired results without requiring any client-side changes. 
 
If we have multiple sites that answer for the content at www.osgeo.org, there's a strong possibility of being penalised by the search engines.  A large part of OSGeo's role is marketing, and search engine ranking is important.
 
Does SVN require an account on the server?  If so, isn't it more secure to require SSL?
 
Jason

It means you have to re-check out and manually merge because svn 
switch will not work if it cannot read from its old repository.
