It's certainly not right :-). Does it reproduce with an up-to-date
client? Did you already have a directory named Subversion there, by
chance? Can you GDB in and see what's throwing the error?

Well, that explains it. You had an older client that still expected
'-d'.
Your client interpreted your checkout command as "get http://..., then
get Subversion", i.e. two separate fetches. The first fetch
succeeded. The second fetch was an attempt to retrieve ae nonsensical
URL.

You should pretty much always go with the head of trunk. If you
report a bug based on anything but that, and the bug isn't immediately
obvious, people will generally ask you to try again with head and see
if it still happens.

That's true of final released software. That is, I'd always prefer
the 1.0 tag to the 1.1-development "trunk".
But svn's trunk is having bugs fixed on a daily basis. We're not yet
in that magical 1.0 bug-free zone. It's changing way too fast, and
almost universally for the better. We've finally managed to freeze
features, but most of the features are still buggy. I can almost
*guarantee* that HEAD will be the least buggy of any previous
revision.

Yes I *know* that, but to answer why I'm checking out a tag...
Because I don't want the latest version right now :) I want the "Alpha" release
version. It is more up-to-date than the version I'm running now and I have
a perception (possibly mis-guided) that the head of the trunk is not
necessarily as stable as the tagged versions.

If you're trying to get an up-to-date client, why are you checking out
a tag instead of the head of trunk? :-)
Just do
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
to get the latest, always.

I'm trying to get an up-to-date client, hence the check-out :)

No. And to make it more interesting it did not create a Subversion directory,
but checked out into a 0.14.0 directory. Running as
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.14.0 -d Subversion
does checkout to a "Subversion" directory. Perhaps a change in behavior
between an older client and the newer one (the old one needs -d, the new
one doesn't) that is reflected in the current web pages. I'm not complaining,
if the current web pages reflect the current client, that is a good thing.
> Can you GDB in and see what's throwing the error?
I just tried, and while running under gdb I got no error. So I ran
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.14.0 -d Subversion
not under gdb and got no error (writing to Sun's tmpfs). So I ran
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.14.0 Subversion
not under gdb and got the error (writing to Sun's tmpfs) and the
checkout was to 0.14.0. Perhaps the missing '-d' is confusing this old
client.
Jeff.
