You can't imagine like our admins... try to imagine http being
blocked, because that's it.
SVN (and all the other git, mercurial, ...) work only through https.

[OT: begin]
As a bonus, our proxy runs a huge regular expression on the URLs to
filter out whatever seems to be suspect.
For example, the domain download.microsoft.com is filtered out, like
anything social network, image share network, needless to say any URL
that contains sexual content.
For example I cannot download
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/resources_extract.html  because the zip
file has no underline, so that you get  resourceSEXtract.
The same is true for a URL that contained  "DocumentsExplorer"  ....
can you spot the sex in it ?? :-(
