It is correct to save it as a text file. But you should ideally be
fetching those files with an SVN client, not with your web browser.

Your kernel is too old to properly work with this UVC driver. You
cannot build the driver, except perhaps without a lot of hacks and
tricks.

I know this is unfortunate, but RHEL tends to stick to old kernel
versions. You might want to figure out whether there's a repository
which provides newer kernels, or switch to Fedora. ;-)

Sorry,
Moritz
