Oops, so they are. (Coming from a Subversion background, I assumed 
http[s] links would be browsable, or would display the project like in 
Github.)

Yes I have seen that. That is the source code presented in another, 
completely different way.

In my humble opinion, it would be much better if we could have the 
different ways of getting the source code all together on one page, and 
then link to that page from the "Download" and "Contribute" sections, 
and perhaps from the FAQ as well, rather than having the information 
scattered.
