my reading of it is that if it is difficult for a project to offer SVN
space to the student for whatever reason, OSGeo has the resources to
provide that for them. Either by borrowing a bit of space from another
project (can be done immediately) or by asking the SAC create a new one
(expect delay but perhaps better long term).

preferable.
