So, I took your advice and installed SVK. Unfortunately, I've run into some
trouble. I know that this is the wrong list, but I'm hoping for a quick save...
The problem is that SVK won't checkout over an existing file structure (my
original problem with SVN -- something that doesn't seem to work in 1.4.5, either).
1. Create folder foo in local test directory
2. svk co svn+ssh://user@host.com/var/svn/tags/rel-1-0-0/foo .
Checkout path foo already exists.
3. NO GO
Do you know how I'm supposed to checkout a repository over an existing file
structure?

Unfortunately, I don't have the option of starting with a blank SVN repository.
Many thanks for everyone's help so far,
Chris

Having never used SVK, I don't know if there is an option to do that.
Subversion will have an option to do that in version 1.5, I believe.

Oh; that's definitely not what I need. Thanks for the clarification,
though -- I will indeed have to follow up with the SVK folks.
Here's to looking forward to 1.5.

Please follow up with this on the SVK list, but I have misled you
slightly: SVK can take an existing directory structure and convert it
to a working copy, but with "import" instead of "checkout":
$ svk import --to-checkout svn+ssn://...blah.../ .
See 'svk help import' for more details...
