Getting the sources

In addition to browsing the sources here, you can check out the sources with your favorite subversion client.

Keep in mind that, unlike ​cvs, tags and branches are ordinary directories in subversion. With the typical subversion repository layout, it is rather easy to checkout more than you probably intend to. To pull just the trunk version, use something like

mkdir FAT32_workspace
cd FAT32_workspace
svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/fat32/trunk trunk

To update your workspace with the current repository content, use

cd FAT32_workspace\trunk
svn update

If you want commit access to the repository, contact Adrian.
