The certificate was renewed yesterday -- a routine renewal as the cert
was due to expire within a week.  Looks like the documentation is (as
ever) lagging behind.

Not sure why you can't validate the Gandi cert -- presumably this is due
to missing an intermediate certificate from Gandi which isn't in the
ca_root_nss collection.  In those cases, the server should provide the
intermediate certificates as well as the site certificate, which it
does. (You can use 'openssl s_client' to test, amongst other methods.)

This points towards an error in certificate validation in the svnlite code.
