I've reviewed the directions at
https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients/ , and
it's a fairly ugly hack, and work to do the integrated checkouts. The
last person I met who used it switched, with my help, to using git,
and using git-svn for access to their local Subversion repositories so
that they could commit working changes locally before submitting them
to the upstream Subversion repository. I recognize that this is *not*
the standard Subversion workflow, but I understood his desire to
publish upstream only the changes he wished to submit.
I'm afraid that the Subversion gateways to github.com are a niche
market, and not one likely to get eager support from github.com
without a compelling business reason to support them. The learning
curve to use git effectively is pretty steep, but the market for
Subversion-only users has been shrinking profoundly over the last
decade.
