WoWI has this feature. Go to http://svn.wowinterface.com/ and click on the repo you want to browse.

Addon authors can choose to de-list their repositories, though. Personally, I've de-listed all of of mine because if I don't, people get overly excited about every alpha commit, and start hounding me to know when the new feature or new addon I'm working on will be finished.

I just don't understand why you would willingly subject yourself to using the command line to type out a whole series of long commands to perform a common task, when you could just click a single button instead.

This would be a nice feature, and I generally like GitHub's UI -- other than their tiny, tiny font sizes -- but as I mentioned before, I think asking the average addon user to sign up with another site just to report a bug is an unnecessary barrier.
