Let's start a separate discussion on whether we should move http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak to github, or at least to git with a home on machines we control..

What's the process to add me to those allowed to write to the repository? Or is there simply a secret username and password that's told to a few?  If the later can some kind soul let me have the password.  I faithfully promise not to abuse the privilege.
