The subversion FAQ recommends it as the equivalent of the CVS/SSH 
access method. And HTTP(S) is not an option, unfortunately. Our 
HTTP(S) proxy needs NTLM authentication and AFAIK this is mostly 
unsupported by Unix tools. At least I never got it to work with SVN.

Oh, and HTTP wouldn't work anyway because of the HTTP extension 
methods used by WebDAV, which is the protocol used when using the HTTP 
access method, if I'm not mistaken.
