this is well explained in the book, http://svnbook.org,
as janine already pointed out.
please read it, at least the examples of harry and
sally.
i'd say you are using the term "checkout" as if you
were using visual source safe. this term does not
have the same meaning in svn. in svn all the files
are "checked-out" (in the VSS sense) by default.
