The correct term to use here would be WebDAV over http (instead of svn
over
http). I suppose the reason for blocking would be that WebDAV is an extension of the http protocol. It adds certain methods like PROPFIND,
COPY
etc. So if your ISP blocks anything other than the basic HTTP methods (get,post, head,put,delete,options,trace) it will block WebDAV.
https is generally transparently proxied, so that should solve your
problem.
on an unrelated note, i thought its not possible to transparently proxy HTTPS connections.

I meant transparent in the sense that since the proxy cant see your request content, it cant block based on the HTTP request method. Right?
