Re: question about svn check out

You can give your folder another name during checkout. Use:

$ svn checkout http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk svn-trunk

instead of

$ svn checkout http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk

And, it will check out your files in a directory called "svn-trunk" or
whatever you want to call the folder.
