The URL https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/H5Part should alway work, don't  know why 
you got on 404-error at your first try.  The URL

https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/Apps

has been obsoleted due to PSI conventions for Subversion repositories.  
Repositories for applications are at the same level as the H5Part repository. 
For now we have the following repositories:

https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/H5Memos
https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/H5Papers
https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/H5Part
https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/H5Root
https://svn.psi.ch/H5Part/Hdf5fed

The Subversion client keeps your user name/password. I guess, that you  
checked out the repository once and the client already knows your password. 
You can remove the cached information be deleting everything in 
~/.subversion/auth.

Yes, there is no "configure". A repository should only contain files which 
can 
*not* be re-created - this is common and best practice. You have to 
call "autogen.sh".

There will be a mailing-list "h5part-commits AT lists.psi.ch" soon. This list 
will be open to everone for subscription, but only our Subversion server will 
be allowed to post mails.
