One year ago, infra added svn:// support to the overlays.gentoo.org 
box[1]. It causes less load on the server, and allows for faster 
syncing than transmissions via http[2]. 

Yesterday I have changed the remaining URIs in layman-global.txt[3]. 
This should cause no need for manual interaction for users. Existing 
checkouts simply sync agains the old (still working) http URI and new 
checkouts will use svn.

[2]Unfortunately, this will cause problems for users behind firewalls.
   But the same is true for our rsync tree and git overlays.
