TortoiseSVN frustration : please HELP

Never mind this message : it seems I was competing for the “top 5 dumb Q” of the year ;-p

<del>I know there is a tutorial about this on TextBook (Repository to Windows Machine Using Graphical User Interface (GUI) Approach), and maybe it’s because I am a SVN newbie but I can’t make this work. The funny thing is, I successfully use wget which is supposedly less user friendly since it’s command line</del>

<del>There is something I most definitely don’t understand, even after some web research, there seems to be no quick easy way to understand the bottom of this. If needed, I’ll spend a few hours and find the answer, but in itself the tutorial should be enough even for a newbie and it’s maybe not detailed step by step enough</del> …

<del>Here’s what I do : I create a folder as instructed, I click on Checkout, there in the module tab, I copy paste the http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/4.0.1/source into the CVSROOT field of Tortoise, click OK and here is the error message I get : [irrelevant thus deleted part]</del>

<del>I don’t know if I should specify protocol (ssh, ext, pserver… ?) or a specific port ?
I am lost there… Thanks a lot for your help !</del>

Well, the first step says:

Download and install Tortoise SVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html).

While you are using:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe

SVN is newer, sexier, better and totally incompatible to CVS. ;)
