The exact same command (taken from my shell's history) works today. Go
figure.

What I invoked was svn-inject, as the instructions in pkg-voip's
README say. The way it is displayed is just that svn-inject doesn't
shell-escape the commands it executes in its log, but probably it
executes them correctly (passing "creating trunk directory" as one
argument in the argv array, not as three).

Login on alioth. Go to https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-voip/
In the "admin" tab, go to the "Edit Public Info" sub-tab. Under
"Active Features:", remove everything we don't use.

As to how to switch the SCM tab to SVN, I don't know.
