Okay, here's the scoop: Sourcecast depends on cookies to implement
access control on things in the file sharing area, and certain versions
of 'curl' and 'wget' don't handle cookies well, resulting in infinite
loops, etc.

The easiest workaround was to just put the latest svn tarballs
directly on svn.collab.net:

     http://svn.collab.net/tarballs/

No tricks, no access control, just a plain old http GET will work. I
hope this simplifies things for package maintainers.

Within the tigris.org file-sharing area, I've updated the 0.29 and
0.30 tarball items to be nothing but hyperlinks to svn.collab.net.
