Comment (by iandunn):

 Replying to [comment:23 coreymckrill]:
 > 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.

 I agree that's a useful feature. I think Trac offers a better online-
 browsing experience, though (syntax highlighting, AJAX folder expanding,
 etc).

 Just linking to Trac could confuse some people, though, since the
 distinction between `core.svn` and `core.trac` needs explaining.

 I wonder if something like this would be good?

 > The built WordPress source [...] can be
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/ browsed online], or
 checked out locally:
 >
 > Subversion: `https://core.svn.wordpress.org/`
 > Git mirror: `git://core.git.wordpress.org/`

 > 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.

 Works for me.
