Yep. SVN clients just uses standard http to talk to the server (it's one
of the nicest things about svn). So if you can browse the site with a
browser then network rules aren't the reason you're unable to do svn
operations on that repository.
Of course SVN client apps don't use HTML; they use http to exchange
WebDav commands with the svn server, but that's still over the standard
http port. Maybe you've got a corporate firewall that's checking the
internal http commands being sent and refusing WebDav? I believe it's
*possible* for firewalls to do this, but I've never heard of anyone's IT
dept or ISP being paranoid enough to set this up. Normally,
port-blocking is all that's implemented. And you've verified that port
80 is fine.
