active development available via http protocol that passes through most firewalls transparently. coreboot has a single SVN repository that seems to be accessible only via the svn protocol which requires that the svn port be open on the firewall which is often impossible to get approved, since it is a "non-standard" port.
ah, git. Love it or hate it. I know people who have used it and now stopped. We had a truly terrible experience with LB and arch years ago, and the SCM question is a sensitive one. I have had people tell me "move to git" and others tell me "please please DON'T EVER MOVE TO GIT".
I think, the main request here is to have the repo available over a "standard port" (yay, it's PHBs and BOFHs ruining the party again).
We already provide the cbv2 repo over https (as documented on http://www.coreboot.org/Download_coreboot ), and it should be easy to provide the other repos as well. It should be easy to map them into the http namespace on coreboot.org, if that's truly necessary.
