Tell me how to authenticate against a SVN project using HTTP only.
Hmm... Is there a good reason not to just migrate over to OpenID?
For one thing, surely an OpenID provider could exist that just authenticates
a username against an SVN account. Then many people already have a Yahoo
account or AOL screenname. On the downside, the OpenID system will likely
not be terribly effective at avoiding spam in the long run, as spammers
register accounts at providers (especially those without or with weak
Captchas). On the otherhand, there are already reports of Spammers mass
signing-up for Google accounts, so it may not be that different in the long
run anyway.
