Actually there is anonymous access:

        $ svn log https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/ | head

        Use two uniforms in sample() for higher precision when the uniform
        generator is one of the Knuth generators or a user-defined generator
        and the population size is at least 2^25.

But the GitHub mirror is likely to be more convenient

On my side, I plan to fix the security issue in jessie-backports by
updating it to 3.3.3 as well.

Have a nice day,
