Tell me how to authenticate against a SVN project using HTTP only. > 2) anonymous users can post comments that won't become publicly visible until > an authenticated user acknowledges them or comments on them. Can you work out this design more? I don't understand how an authenticated user can acknowledge an anonymous comment if it isn't publicly visible. Also, AFAIK our bug tracker doesn't support anonymous comments either, so I don't think this is an important use case.

Rather than svn authentication i suggest just piggybacking on top of the bug trackers authentication. that is an integration i think we should aim for anyways and it should keep the no-google-account fear mongers happy. code comments (as bug comments are today) should not require svn commit access.

anyways, i expect someone else may implement that once the code is out there.
