Yeah i did see that, but I figured is not a checkout thing, its a
global argument, for example i was attempting "svn info" I suppose I
should have looked in "svn help info" but it wasn't an "info" issue,
it was a generic svn application issue.
on a side note, it would have been nice for the error message itself
to mention the argument.
