That doesn't work any longer. When I tried to download Manarchive, I got
this:

desktop /usr/local/src $ LANG=C svn co
https://manarchive.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/manarchive manarchive
Redirecting to URL 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/manarchive':
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://sourceforge.net/projects/manarchive'
svn: E175003: The server at 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/manarchive'
does not support the HTTP/DAV protocol
