In principle, now that freebsd.org is DNSSEC enabled, any SSL key can be
securely identified as belonging to the FreeBSD project by including a
key digest in the DNS.  See RFC 6698.

However I can't seem to find any TLSA records associated with
'svn.freebsd.org' or 'svn0.us-east.freebsd.org' [*] or
'svnmir.nyi.freebsd.org'.

This method has the advantage that you don't need to spend money buying
certs from CAs.  However, support in browsers and other software is
going to be patchy at best, so manual verification will be necessary.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] A CNAME, so there couldn't be a TLSA record anyhow.
