#3073: Plugin Directory: Display plugin's SVN repository link for logged-out users
as well

 In [5218] plugin's SVN repository link was removed as a part of the
 redesign.

 In [5325] it was re-added as an important piece of information under
 "Interested In Development" section.

 However, the link was restored for logged-in users only, as a compromise
 between showing it to non-technical users and not showing it to developers
 (both options were less than ideal).

 In retrospect, it does not make sense to limit the SVN link to logged-in
 users. It should be displayed for everyone interested in development, as
 the section title suggests. If you want to quickly browse the plugin code,
 readme, or tags, Trac link allows for that as well, but its loading times
 are significantly slower than SVN, leading to bad UX.
