You are correct in that SVN is not inherently buggy, but the anonsvn
server at KDE e.V. is quite slow and its connection is unstable.  It can
be a real nightmare to check out the entire Trinity source from that
server.

We have had plans for a while now to migrate the source from the KDE e.V.
SVN server to our own GIT server immediately following the 3.5.13 release.
 Hopefully that will not only encourage more developers to get involved,
but also fix the anonymous checkout that has been a problem ever since
this project began.
