SRV records? Does alioth have any SRV records that might be useful in
this context? I queried various combinations of 'git', 'svn',
'subversion', 'svnserve', 'alioth', 'anonscm', and 'http' in queries
based on *._tcp.*.debian.org and didn't find any.
With my Subversion upstream hat on, I'd be happy to look at SRV
records, if you have a clear idea how they would work. I'm very much
in favor of SRV as a concept. So, we have svn://, http://, https://
and file://. Which of these should use SRV, and what service names
should they query? For example, perhaps svn:// should correspond to
_svn._tcp.{hostname} before it falls back to {hostname}:3690?
I'd be reluctant to push for SRV lookups for http:// and https://, as
that would be a break from what other HTTP and WebDAV clients do.
