Uh, no need.  I'm "vi" on my local machine, "vi-guest" on alioth, and this
command line works for me:

svn co svn+ssh://vi-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk debian-installer

I use unstable, the SVN in woody probably doesn't do this, as the patch
for the user@host handling was added to the Subversion code itself in
November 2003, IIRC.
