SVN

Filtering out SVN's (mod_dav_svn) low-level logs in Apache's standard access_log

I've experienced the same weird behavior regarding the SVN-ACTION environment variable as Max Cantor in his post to the users@httpd mailing list. However a fairly obvious workaround can be set up with a few additional lines in the config.

How to download source of a project from an SVN (SubVersion) repository

First of all, you need the SVN client. On Mac OS X you can get it through Fink or via FinkCommander (install the svn-client package). On Debian (or derivatives) you just install the subversion package as usually (apt-get install subversion).
Th command to download some source from an SVN repository:
svn checkout URL PATH

"URL" stands for the trunk URL of the repository you want to get, "PATH" stands for the local directory name to fetch the files into.
Of course you can read the complete documentation of the checkout command with issuing svn help checkout.

PS: checkout can be abbreviated to co.
