As I suspected, I think those times are bogus :)

Bill needs to answer those questions.

Jeff, we all suffer this frustration. If we could change it, it would be better by now.  It is the way it is because of how Apple has organized their internal repository. llvm-gcc is comingled with Apple GCC and that repository isn't accessible outside Apple. Consequently, the mirror allows llvm-gcc to be accessible by the community without providing access to the rest of Apple GCC (or something like that, I'm vague on the details).

We would have a fully commitable llvm-gcc repository under Subversion by now if we were cut over, but we're not. Because there's a lot going on in the community right now, we've put off the SVN migration until June. So, a few more weeks of patience and things should get much better in this regard.
