Joomla Subversion behind a proxy

This is a note about how to checkout the Joomla stable (1.0.x) Subversion repository when you are behind a proxy.

I know there are many sites explaining how to do that but I was not able to find one of them with an out of the box working solution.

This is my recipe.

1) Add the following lines to your ~/.subversion/servers:

[global]
http-proxy-exceptions = *.your_domain
http-proxy-host = proxy.your_domain
http-proxy-port = 80 # 80 or the right port for you

2) The most important thing to do is to use HTTPS. In a working path, type:
svn co --username your_username https://scm.joomla.org/svn/repos/joomla/releases/1.0/ your_folder
