 > How did they solve this problem? I can only imagine that the git client
 shipped with OSX is not as broken as the svn client, in which case
 bitbucket/github didn't solve anything. What does the OSX client say to

 It says:
 {{{
 queech4u:tmp rhaas$ /usr/bin/svn co https://github.com/ianhinder/Kranc
 kranc

 so svn also fails for bitbucket's svn transport (the svn that works for me
 is the homebrew one '''after''' I manually install a cert.pem file eg from
 curl).

 I think that for downloads we can live with http transports and the number
 of persons who commit is small enough (and expert enough) that we can ask
 those to use a fully fledged svn and openssl client.

 I also think that we must make every effort so that downloads work.
 Basically no matter how annoying this is for us.
