All mirrors carry all repositories.
The master FreeBSD Subversion
server, svn.FreeBSD.org
, is
publicly accessible, read-only. That may change in the future,
so users are encouraged to use one of the official mirrors. To
view the FreeBSD Subversion repositories
through a browser, use http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/.
The FreeBSD svn mirror network is still in its early days, and will likely change. Do not count on this list of mirrors being static. In particular, the SSL certificates of the servers will likely change at some point.

HTTPS is the preferred protocol, providing protection against another computer pretending to be the FreeBSD mirror (commonly known as a “man in the middle” attack) or otherwise trying to send bad content to the end user.
On the first connection to an HTTPS mirror, the user will be asked to verify the server fingerprint:
Compare the fingerprint shown to those listed in the table
above. If the fingerprint matches, the server security
certificate can be accepted temporarily or permanently. A
temporary certificate will expire after a single session with
the server, and the verification step will be repeated on the
next connection. Accepting the certificate permanently will
store the authentication credentials in
~/.subversion/auth/
and
the user will not be asked to verify the fingerprint again until
the certificate expires.
If HTTPS cannot be used due to firewall
or other problems, SVN
is the next choice,
with slightly faster transfers. When neither can be used, use
HTTP.
