I'm not trying to patronize you. The advice in the committer's guide is
for committers, who have accounts set up on the server. TMK you don't,
so the svn+ssh:// URL won't work for you. You need to do an anonymous
checkout using the svn:// URL. Also, you missed the /base/ bit that is
mentioned in the committer's guide. (not to mention, you actually asked
for a clue-bat) :)

All that said, we definitely need better documentation on how users can
use our svn stuff; not to mention that we should have had that, and svn
mirrors set up *before* we made the switch, but that's just me.

Good luck,

Doug
