Yeah, +1 from me here. If people think they're using trunk, and they're 
not 'cos its moved to GitHub, that's bad.

FWIW, you may not know that GitHub really does have an svn interface to 
git repositories on GitHub. They unfortunately announced this on April 1 
one year, so I think most people (myself included, until I actually 
started using it) assume it's a joke.

So, it really is a case of CI tools changing their subversion url, and 
others doing a svn switch --relocate.

cheers,

Chris
