I think it's unnecessary.

I mean telling users (in the wiki) to do: svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util for normal setups and: svn co https://linuxbios.org/svn/trunk/util for firewalled setups. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
