AFAIK this would make a http connection to 16254/path/to/file as user
svn.host/path/to/repository. If I'm not completely mistaken everything before
an @ in a http path is a username/password to logon, like this:
http://user:password@host

Finding the necessary delimiter character may prove difficult
