68 svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
72 svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
74 (the last argument can be any directory name). You can use
76 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
77 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags
79 to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
80 particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
81 can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
