Checking Out the GeoEco Source Code Tree with TortoiseSVN

TortoiseSVN is a Windows shell extension. Most of its functionality is exposed via right-clicking within Windows Explorer or My Computer. You can always access the TortoiseSVN documentation by clicking Start → All Programs → TortoiseSVN → Help.

Checkout procedure

To checkout the entire MGET source tree:

Start My Computer.
Right-click on the disk that will receive the source code tree and select SVN Checkout.
In the Url of repository box type svn+ssh://user@code2.nicholas.duke.edu/opt/svn/mget where user is your MGEL user name (e.g. jjr8).
In the Checkout directory box type the directory that will receive the source code tree. We suggest C:\MGET.
Click OK. If a TortoiseSVN popup appears asking if you'd like to create the directory, click Yes.
A window will open and show TortoiseSVN's actions as it completes the checkout operation. The checkout may require several minutes, or longer, depending on your network connection and speed of the server. The OK button will remain grayed-out until the checkout is complete. Click it when the checkout is done.

Assuming you checked out svn+ssh://user@code2.nicholas.duke.edu/opt/svn/mget to C:\MGET, the source tree would look like this:
