title: Error Connecting to GitHub from SVN
body: <p>I have followed the tutorial that allows SVN users to checkout a repositary from GitHub <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Support for SVN clients</a> and I have had no success in connecting to GitHub. Is this method still supported? If so what am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>The command I run is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\dev\git&gt;svn co https://github.com/kenster10/hello-world.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error I get is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://github.com/kenster10/hello-world.git'
  svn: E730061: Error running context: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
  </code></pre>
