Errors on SVN checkout. Am pulling the right repository?

[Michael Cole]

Hi, I'd like to build TortoiseSVN, so I did a SVN checkout from there:

http://svn.osdn.net/svnroot/tortoisesvn

But I'm getting 20+ errors like this:

```

External failed:  C:\scm\tortoisesvn\branches\1.7.x\ext\serf

Unable to connect to a repository at URL

 'http://serf.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.2.1'

'/svn/tags/1.2.1' path not found

```

And an openoffice cert error.  Am I in the right place?  Is there a developer guide?

Thanks!

that's the right url, but maybe you want to also try https instead of http.

of course: you're checking out everything, including all old tags and branches. And some old branches use externals to repos that have been moved.

check out from http://svn.osdn.net/svnroot/tortoisesvn/trunk instead.
