Some tweaks to svn.html


The following patch drops a SSH reference (not needed for read
access), reflects the fact that it's possible to download the source
with a single command, temporaily removes a reference to Savannah,
fixes a misspelling of the "svn" command as "SVN", and clarifies what
"URL" means in the explanation of the same command.

Okay to install?

By the way, I'm not sure if we should call Subversion "SVN" throughout
this document.  Shouldn't it be "Subversion"?
