Comment (by coreymckrill):

 > What does the `dashicons-external` link to? Does it open in new tab?

 It links to the SVN repo, not in a new tab. I included it because in the
 previous iteration the SVN URL was a link instead of copiable text. I
 would be fine removing it, but I do think it's useful to show people that
 they can look through the repo on their browser rather than having to do a
 checkout.

 > We might want to consider adding the checkout/clone commands

 In this case, I would probably prefer to leave them as just the URLs for
 simplicity. People who want to know what the repo URLs are need to have a
 basic level of understanding about SVN/Git in order to do anything with
 them anyway, so they should know which commands to use.

 For the same reason, my preference would be to leave off `/trunk`.
 Branches and tags are useful for some people, and checking out the whole
 repo doesn't take ''that'' long (unlike the Plugins repo).
