Is there/will there be a story for people who cannot use rsync to pull down
updates because they're behind a restrictive proxy?

This affects one of the three computers on which I maintain a MacPorts
installation.  I currently use the mechanisms described at
<https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/SyncingWithSVN> to get around this,
but of course those instructions are coupled very tightly to SVN.

Thanks,
