For access to svn, it use ssh.

And that's part of the instruction I gave to test access :)

====================
To check, that's rather easy , type in a shell of any UNIX :
 ssh svn.mageia.org 

It will ask your password ( the one of transifex , bugzilla, etc ), and
if the password is correct ( and the login too ), it will show you a
error message and tell "you are a member of theses group : " + list of
group. Something like this :

Last login: Thu Apr 21 22:52:31 2011 from nanardon.zarb.org
You tried to run a interactive shell.
Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.
You are member of the following groups :
mga-users  mga-sysadmin mga-packagers mga-ml_moderators
mga-packagers-committers mga-board mga-founders mga-i18n
mga-i18n-committers 
Connection to svn.mageia.org closed.

I also answered this in the mail I sent :

====================
* First, typing the password each time is not fun. If like me, your
password is as long as the first chapter of Harry Potter, this become
quickly annoying. You can ask to a sysadmin to place a ssh keys if you
want, just contact us ( better open a bug so we do not forget ).
Something to automate this is planned since months ( we just need to
have a slightly simpler interface on identity, perl coder help welcome,
and to test the script to export keys, and another script to import
existing keys from the disk ). 
====================


Now, after looking your account, it seems that you are not in the
committers group so no svn access. If this is wrong ( and if you are the
committers of your team, please tell it.
