Checking out repository with TortoiseSVN

Question

I am trying to check out the following repository with TortoiseSVN (I am pretty new to version control software):

http://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net/

For this I go to SVN checkout and put in this URL as the URL of the repository, but get the following error:

Command checkout from http://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included

ErrorOPTIONS of 'http://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net': 200 OK (http://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net)

Finished

How would I properly check out the project?

Answer 1

If you open that URL in your browser, you'll see it's a regular web page, not a Subversion repository. Find the right URL at http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=85379

Answer 2

Its been a long time since I used Tortoise, but I could add the checkout from the repository you had mentioned in your question ( In Mac using Cornerstone). I think the problem is, you need to specify the protocol. By default svn repository use "svn://" protocol, but this repository uses http://, so you might have to mention this while adding this repository in your svn client.

Edit: This is the svn checkout url for the repository: svn co https://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/carrot2 carrot2

Answer 3

The repository is located here:

https://carrot2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/carrot2

You are just looking at viewvc paths. You might want to just pull a trunk or a branch rather then the whole repo, depending on how much code is there.
