Yes, svn supports "svn co http://..."
But the server has to support that transport too.
I think this is not supported on svnanon.samba.org currently,
have to check.

wbinfo -u/-g get the list of users/groups even if "winbind enum
users/groups" is set to "no" in the config (it uses other means
than the getpwent/getgrent system functions). If your number of 
users and groups is very large, wbinfo will currently time out,
but winbindd will continue to complete the request.
