Possible improvements/clarifications for R-forge (Was: Re: Using SVN + SSH on windows)
Getting back to the original poster who may have been forgotten in all this, alternatives are switching to Linux and using R-Forge with that (if such a switch in platforms is feasible) or using googlecode (that's the largest repository of R projects outside of CRAN with 237 R projects listed -- it uses https rather than ssh which eliminates all the problems).
Naive question: Is it not possible to make R-forge works either with ssh or with https?
