Getting a Working Copy

To get a working copy, use the svn checkout command, specifying the repository URL as an argument:

\begin{displaymath}
\mbox{\texttt{svn checkout }\url{http://svn.barzilay.org/670/sandbox}}
\end{displaymath}

In many cases, including our repository, this will prompt you for a username and a password. The client caches authentication credentials so you won't have to re-authenticate at each SVN operation.
