Every svn alternative provides tools that are as good as or better
than R-forge, with the exception of package building.  It's a real
shame that this unique component of R-forge is so closely connected to
the tools that many other sites provide.

See http://github.com/hadley/plyr for an example of the development
experience that other sites provide.  Note the absence of broken
images and broken https.
