Hi J-S,
I'm using TortoiseSVN on a Windows system. This has a right-click
menu entry for "SVN Checkout". The GUI can only handle the URL
and was confused by the <space>"OpenSceneGraph" after "trunk".
You're exactly right that I was pulling down and eternity and a half.
Today, after contemplating installing svn on a SuSE linux system,
I got what I wanted with
http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/trunk
which I swear I tried Friday. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Hi Don,
I bailed on my svn import. TortoiseSVN wouldn't work with the checkout
command as documented. I got the checkout going, but I seemed to be
getting way more than I wanted. After more time than I had to spend I
still didn't
have the OSG source.
What command did you try?
This page gives you the command you should have been using:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Downloads/SVN
which is:
svn checkout http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/trunk
OpenSceneGraph
That gets you only the trunk source tree, i.e. what you need. It should
be a pretty speedy checkout, at least it is whenever I do it on a new
machine (which I've done a few times in the past month or two).
I would understand it taking a lot of time if you had removed one or
especially two levels from the path, i.e. if you did
svn checkout http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/
That would checkout all the branches, tags and trunk, i.e. it would take
an eternity and a half, in addition to taking more disk space than you
probably have... SVN branches and tags are shallow copies unless
something changes, so they're lightweight on the server, but as soon as
you download them on your machine they take the full size of all files.
Hope this helps,
J-S
