Same for me - I was able to "svn checkout" one of my other normal git repos, 
but with gnucash I, too, got "502 Bad Gateway". However, it came up with a 
"trunk" and "branches" directory, so that I had to append "trunk" to the URL 
to get a useful source tree. For gnucash, this didn't change the problem, 
though.
