Being an svn developer who has had to debug proxy problems, i'd
actually say exactly the exact opposite.
Most HTTPS proxies fuck it up more often than HTTP proxies.

In any case, if someone wants to buy a cert for gcc.gnu.org, i'll set
up https read-only access.
But honestly, I have real trouble seeing that it is truly that useful
when we have http access.
