After installing TortoiseSVN, download the sources from SVN using a URL for each directory, see:
Dir: c:\freepascal\binutils\i386-win32\
URL:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/branches/fixes_2_4/install/binw32 Dir: c:\freepascal\fpc\2.4.3
URL: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_4/ Dir: c:\freepascal\laz
URL: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk

Before you say read the manual... I have looked at the online help and there are 8 million 900 and 65 screens to read... okay minor exaggeration for humour.

But it shows an item called "SVN Update"(2 items above "TortoiseSVN") . What do you expect when clicking on an already checked out directory? I guess this item changes into "SVN Checkout" (or something similar) when you click on an _empty_ directory.

I'm sure Google will guide you to a shorter tutorial how to use this tool.

two lines above that TortoiseSVN option you selected is a "SVN Checkout" option... /that's/ what you click on and then fill in the URL for that pull ;)

that comes after the initial Checkout, AFAICT... i just went thru this and wrote an email about the experience earlier today... on a new folder, you "SVN Checkout"... on one that is already checked out, you "SVN Update"... the link is in the same exact place... just the name and base operation underneath change ;)

Do yourself a favor and download the command line SVN client instead. Then just enter the checkout command at a command prompt in the directory where you want the checkout to happen.
Simple as that and nothing to learn either, just use the posted commands...

Hi Bo,

I would love to do myself a favour :-)

Where do I find the SVN Client. Do you know the url ?

I have recently added some new functionality to the lazsvn package in the IDE, its almost usable now ;-)

When the command line svn client is installed then I recommend also installing lazsvn in the IDE.

Hi,

When the command line svn client is installed then I recommend also installing lazsvn in the IDE.

What does lazsvn offer as extra that the command line client (svn) doesn't? What exactly does the lazsvn package add to the svn experience?

A few things are done faster with the mouse instead of using the command line. You can quickly browse through the log, see what files were modified in each revision and show diffs or open that file in the editor with a mouse click, if you have modified more files than those you want to commit then you can easily select them from a list of modified files in the commit dialog before sending them.

And instead of sending them to the server you can also create a patch file for all selected files directly from within the commit dialog. This is very helpful if you want a comfortable tool to create patch files (for all those who contribute to a project by sending patches to somebody instead of committing directly to the repository).

It does nothing you can't do from the command line but it makes a few things easier and helps keeping the overview if you made many changes to your working copy. I made the enhancements to lazsvn mainly because I needed a tool to easily create patch files for individual changes in my working copy to submit them to the lazarus bug tracker. I wanted to be able to select the files from a list of all my changed files and then click just one button and have a patch file and also to be able to review and edit the generated patch file (remove unrelated hunks) before it is saved to disk.

These things can also be done with TortoiseSVN on Windows but I am mainly on Linux and I did not find any decent svn GUI to help me with exactly this use case, so I built it into the already existing lazsvn package.
