https for code.djangoproject.com/svn

[Alexander Konovalenko]

I would like to check out the Django source from the Subversion
repository but I use an untrusted network connection. Currently
there's no easy way to verify the integrity of the code I got after
doing svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/

It would be nice if code.djangoproject.com was accessible over SSL.
Even a free StartCom certificate would suffice.

You could also enable SSL for other parts of djangoproject.com.
Reading the docs and downloading the source tarballs could be made
more secure. Especially for those who don't bother to verify the PGP
signature and checksums of a new release or don't know about their
existence (they are not advertised in any way on the Download
<http://www.djangoproject.com/download/> page).

Personally I can live without full SSL support because there are
work-arounds, but svn checkout over SSL is essential for me.

It's on my todo list.
