[wp-hackers] Plugin Version Control & Source Code Hosting?

[Beau Lebens]

You should be able to just do the following (using my own as an
example, although don't know for sure that's always the case).

Plugin page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sparkplug/
SVN URL: http://svn.wp-plugins.org/sparkplug/

So just replace "wordpress.org/extend/plugins" with
"svn.wp-plugins.org" and you have the URL (although in my case, you
also need /trunk/ on the end).

You're right though, it would make sense (and make life easier) to
just have the corresponding URL appear on that page so you could
easily copy-paste. Perhaps even have an automatically generated page
that describes the checkout/externals details for using that plugin
(could be linked under the Download button?)

+1 for this.
