Basically the island is blanketed in transparent proxies (at least 2 of the major ISPs use them) with no WebDAV support. Which means in the default case, you cannot run ‘svn up’, ‘svn checkout’, etc. You’d have to set up an alternate proxy for subversion to use.
I’m surprised that googling didn’t turn up anyone complaining about this. Does no one in Singapore use Subversion? Some of my friends who are developers here say that they do all their development remotely. There is such a high pain factor to working over SSH/VPN/VNC/etc 100% of the time that I wonder why they have to do this.
It’s strange how a country that is supposedly so high-tech is so bass ackwards when it comes to something so straightforward.
