I guess I was reluctant because of the delay involved in doing a checkout over a slow network - i.e. if I did a checkout from home then it'd take forever since the office's upstream bandwidth is so slow.
That said it's pretty rare to do a full checkout (usually just updates) so I think I can live with it. Thanks.
