Mirrors are now running and documented: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mirrors-svn.html

I'm still doing some final tweaks so there might be some shorter outages over the weekend, but it should be < 1m issues.

PS. also, if anyone are access http://svn.FreeBSD.org/ you are in fact now using svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org, to avoid having to run apache on the main svn server, so - you might as well use the mirror directly and avoid going through netcat...
