Re: Retrieve last revision of a project

Dear Andy,

You were right: this document is a good document
and I found the answer to my specific problem browsing it.
So I'll just post it here (I hope I won't write too many stupid things).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First step
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Create a directory "<path>/svn".
2) Create a (second) directory "<path>/svn/repository".
3) Special settings if you have a proxy:
    - Right-click on "svn/repository".
    - "TortoiseSVN -> Settings"
    - "Network":
        -- Server address (in my case: "proxy.ign.fr")
        -- Port (in my case: "3128")
4) Right-click on "svn/repository".
    Choose "SVN Checkout..."
    Enter:
    - the "URL of repository" (in my case:
"https://wikapidia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wikapidia"),
    - the "Checkout directory" (in my case: "<path>/svn/repository"),
    - the "Checkout depth" (in my case: "Fully recursive"),
    - the "Revision" (in my case: "Head revision").
5) Ok
It's done.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second step (skip it if you are not interested with Eclipse)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "thing" that I checked-out at step 1 is a Java Project so I wanted to
retrieve it with "Eclipse".
1) Create a brand new workspace (in my case:
"<path2>/workspace_wikapidia/").
2) Start "Eclipse" and choose this workspace.
3) "File -> Import..." ; "General" ; "Existing Project Into Workspace"
4) "Select root directory:" "<path>/svn/repository/wikapidia"
Finish.
It's done: you have an operating project.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I may do so, I wish I could ask you another question or make a remark.
Here is something I read in the document:
"To obtain a working copy you need to do a checkout from a repository."
I was wondering why it is called a "checkout"... ?
Is it because when updating we are only downloading files that have changed
(modulo the "copy-modify-merge" system)...
If this is the first time can't we call that a "download"?
Even if it is not a common download...
Well, maybe "checkout" is a good word after all... ;-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you and all the best :-),
