Congratulations regarding your move to the better Subversion system.
I checked the above page and found that a hint regarding the use of

   svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/freeciv/trunk freeciv

is still missing. The 'svn' or 'svn+ssh' protocols require that those 
proprietary ports are open which is not necessarily the case if you are 
behind a firewall or in a subnet.
The 'http' protocol is better suited, as it is commonly open and can be 
used via a proxy server.

Guido
