Sorry, not expired ... untrusted.
- Status changed from New to Needs feedback
As I mentioned, not expired, untrusted.
So ... yes, really.
What is problem?
I included the error message in the description but if you prefer screenshots, see attached.
Do you mean "Gandi, Paris, Paris, FR" is untrusted?

The certificate itself is fine and valid. However, it appears that the server for https://svn.redmine.org does not send along the required intermediate certificates to allow clients to verify the full certificate chain as shown in Toshi's gnutls trace.
Some clients (like most current browsers) cache intermediate certificates they have already seen somewhere else (e.g. from a visit to https://www.redmine.org) . This allows them to still verify the certificate chain even if the actual server does not send the required certificates along.
SVN clients usually don't do this (and don't even "visit" other sites). Thus, they have no way to learn about the intermediate certificate chain which is required to verify the server certificate. The clients only have their internal list of trusted root certificates. The solution would be to configure the webserver at https://svn.redmine.org to also send the intermediate certificates along, similar to how it's done for the main website at https://www.redmine.org. I think that right now only Jean-Philippe is able to perform this change.
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Fixed
It seems that this was fixed.
svn.redmine.org currently sends an intermediate certificate which allows clients to build a certificate chains towards the "USERTrust RSA Certification Authority" which is usually included in trusted root certificate stores.
