At one point, enabling the 'http:' checkout gateway was a sure-fire
recipe for getting SVN's knickers in a twist, which is why we disabled
it.  Or maybe that was ViewCSV.

In any case, I would guess that you might persuade folks to allow
DAV-based checkout (which is what svn-over-http is), but you are likely
to have to write it up as a proposal, including specific information
about the Apache / SVN configuration changes required.

Yes, definitely.  The answer is the same as when you asked for it two
years ago (:  the WebDAV stuff is slow (which may be a reason not to
allow annonymous http: checkouts, too), and the credentials mechanism is
built entirely around the contributor's SSH key..
