SVN

I have been using Subversion lately to commit code to my project and to checkout code from various other open source projects.

A few days ago, to my surprise, the proxy server of our university was giving 403 (access forbidden) error for any svn requests I made (subversion is mostly referred to as svn). Initially I thought it was due to something else but yesterday when I tried only svn, I got the same response and more over the internet connection was blocked for about half an hour. Completely baffled by this (I mean WTF right?), I put this as the status message of my chats:

When did svn become illegal?!


This conversation followed it shortly:

Disclosure: His full name is SVN. Chaitanya.

As I soon found out, svn can mean a lot of things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVN
