Does this mean that anonymous checkout is going to be stopped? There
are links on http://fetchmail.berlios.de/ pointing to the repository
meant for this.

It might be better to allow anonymous HTTP read-only access to trunk
and to a few select tags (like the release tags). Access to the
remaining tags, branches, as well as commits to the full tree via HTTP
can then be stopped.

Note that the svn+ssh protocol does not allow anonymous read-only
access as it requires a valid login account on the system.
