svn co not working for bitcoin unlimited

[JAFO]

I am a bit old-school and prefur using svn over git. I can do an 'svn co' over on core bitcoin, as well as on bitcoin-xt. But on the unlimited repo it fails. Of course a 'git clone' still works. Does anyone know why this is broken on BU?

For example the following does not work:
> svn co https://github.com/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimited.git
svn: E175002: Unexpected HTTP status 504 'Gateway Timeout' on '/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimited.git/!svn/vcc/default'

whereas all the following work:
> svn co https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
> svn co https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt.git
> git clone https://github.com/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimited.git
> git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
> git clone https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt.git

I am running Ubuntu 16.04LTS.

Ok I have solved this but there is a problem: Subversion requires lower case in the URL, thus the following works:

> svn co https://github.com/bitcoinunlimited/bitcoinunlimited.git

Github for BU does not provide the correct URL for a SVN Checkout. I am uncertain whom to put this github BU bug on.
