p.s. I had mentioned Apache Labs (http://labs.apache.org), but
intended it
to be an inadequate options since it would lack the visibility of a

though it would address the licensing issues.
I read the rest as "The ASF wants to cover its ass". This is a good
thing. It protects not only the ASF but all downstream users. By
exerting a bit of foresight we promote the integrity and reliability
of the ASF as a whole.
That said, using "Apache SVN" in an argument about providing that
paper trail prevents me from considering the issue seriously. I'm a
hacker. I hack. I judge my tools and I have judged SVN to be lacking.
I would very be very excited to see hosted git repositories for ASF
contributors and would use them exclusively to all other git hosting
for my ASF development. If there were a recommendation to stop using
Github as a host for development, I would just stop pushing code
public. SVN sucks that bad.
