Comment (by Roland Haas):

This is really very annoying. The server also hosts the www repository behind https://cactuscode.org and right now, in order to fix typos in the posted Turing release date I noticed, I had to spin up a Debian Jessie VM just to get an old enough OpenSSL that will still talk to the ancient SSL library on svn.cactuscode.org.

#2387 would at least take care of the most often updated repo.
