Those dirs/files are (as you said) from a Subversion repository. They are
not in human usable form.

You need an svn client to view them.

Assume you have the files here ~/repo (and your username is USER, so that's
/home/USER/repo), you could do this

cd
svn co file:///home/USER/repo current

That will check out the head revision of every file in the repository.

You could also use "svn list URL" (where URL is the above URL, or some
subpath, like file:///home/USER/repo/trunk)

On Windows, put the files in c:\repo and use file:///c:/repo as the URL. If
you are on windows, install TortoiseSVN, and use the "Browse Repostory"
option (pointed to that URL) to see the state of all files. NOTE: If you
install TortoiseSVN in Windows you do NOT need to install a command line
client (unless you want to use svnadmin to do admin things to the repo).

Note also, you can use "svn log -v URL" to see a log of the changes to the
files.

For more detailed info, read the Subversion Book.
