Comment (by rhaas):

 If this failure happened anywhere other than the initial download I would
 agree that we can ask users to update their system. However since this is
 the very first thing a new user will do (in particular following the
 Download link on our website) this really should work, no matter what.
 Even with the old svn client (I think). If the solution of writing a
 "useful" set of certificates using OSX's built-in certificate store is not
 acceptable, then I think that at the very least we must add code to
 GetComponents that detects that svn is failing due to missing certificates
 and if it also finds that it runs on OSX it must output a warning
 explaining what is happening and how to fix it (by suggesting to install
 homebrew or macports). This warning must be collected with all the other
 warnings and output at the end of the GetComponents output. I really
 believe that if the initial download does not work, a new potential user
 will just give up and look somewhere else (unless they are in a group
 already using the ET in which case they have local support to sort this
 out).
