Whoops.

...(I'm not quite sure this is sufficient to achieve their goals; they
seem to want a "proven protocol" because they don't like compatibility
breaking.  Even if one layers on top of a proven protocol like HTTP,

protocol in this case is I guess SVN's, which is rather more mature
than others.
