If this is a joke, it's a damn good one. Otherwise, it's a cool feature :-)

No joke, try it out. `svn co http://svn.github.com/jquery/jquery`

It works from the command line, but not from the browser "headers incomplete".

However it's pretty annoying that there's no access control through svn. I just checked out my private repo without entering any credentials :(

There is, try checking out someone else's private repo. You can't :)

(For example, defunkt/github)

Is visiting a svn repo via a web browser really supposed to do anything?

[leh]

I realized that - but will this "feature" be avaible after midnight?

[kneath]

Of course.

[ceilingfish]

The repos are read only though. Thankfully!

[jonursenbach]

Probably a stupid question, but do you guys plan on expanding upon this? Pretty please?

schacon says in the comments on the linked post that they plan to have write too, although that might be a subtle April Fool's joke.

That said, schacon has been working on increasing compatibility between VCSes like producing hg-git. It'd be great if a site like Github that was significantly more agnostic about VCS.

Who knows what will happen in the future.

Implement writes and sell it as a migration tool to companies who are nervous about switching. You will friggin clean up.
