Sourceforge appear to have just change the URL to files again, moving to 
vhosts for every project:

--------------------

On November 31, 2006 the access method for Subversion changed. This 
document reflects those changes. The old method had numerous problems, 
including spurious 50x error messages and other issues that kept it from 
functioning fully. This newly documented access method solves many, if 
not all of the issues with the old mechanism.

Users of the old method 
(https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/PROJECTNAME) should switch to the 
new access method 
(https://PROJECTNAME.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/PROJECTNAME) using 
these steps:

    1. Make a copy of your local working copy.
    2. Run 'svn info' at the root of the repository content, it should 
display a line that appears similar to: URL: 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/PROJECTNAME/trunk
    3. Run the following command at the root of the working copy: svn 
switch --relocate https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/PROJECTNAME/trunk 
https://PROJECTNAME.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/PROJECTNAME/trunk

-------------------

For smartfrog, the command is
svn switch --relocate 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smartfrog/trunk 
https://smartfrog.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smartfrog/trunk

I was get 403 errors trying to commit some COPY/MOVE operations, and 
switching to the new repository made them go away,

So: switch now, or when you have trouble in future reading/writing the 
repository.

Julio thinks everyone should upgrade their clients too if they can, 
because the 1.4 SVN client is nippier
