I have a feeling that this is semi-deliberate - at least until we have an 
SVN distribution mechanism in place.  I believe the plan is to prevent 
anonymous checkouts from svn.f.o at some point in the future, once a 
replacement infrastructure is available.

I guess for doc it's unavoidable, but it's probably wise to at least 
consult with the svn meisters before making the change to the information 
for obtaining src.
