[kde-doc-english] Accessing SVN

Hi all,

We've received a series of tickets in recent weeks which indicate that
people are relying on out of date documentation for accessing KDE SVN
(svn.kde.org).

The ONLY url which will work for accessing svn.kde.org is:

- svn+ssh://svn@svn.kde.org/home/kde/

The server will detect who you are based on your SSH key.

Older URLs which were of the form
svn+ssh://username@svn.kde.org/home/kde/ are deprecated and will not
work.

Any documentation saying otherwise is incorrect and should be either
corrected or destroyed. If you do not have access to perform this,
please send the URLs to sysadmin at kde.org and we'll ensure the
documentation is destroyed.

If you have legacy checkouts which need updating, you can run:

svn switch --relocate svn+ssh://username@svn.kde.org/home/kde/
svn+ssh://svn@svn.kde.org/home/kde/

Substituting 'username' in the above with your own Identity/Developer username.

Regards,
Ben Cooksley
KDE Sysadmin
