To get access to the Ptolemy II ptII svn repository via https, use this
command:
svn co https://source.eecs.berkeley.edu/svn/chess/ptII/trunk ptII
The reason to use https is if you are behind a firewall and other
methods, such as ssh, are not working.
One problem is that the first time you connect via https, you may get a
message like:
--start--

Error validating server certificate for

(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently?
---end---
The correct response is to type a "p" and accept the certificate.
The reason this occurs is because svn uses OpenSSL and OpenSSL does not
have the commercial Certificate Authorities listed. For details about
two possible workarounds, see:
http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal/wiki/Main/Subversion#svnCertficateIsNotIssuedByATrustedAuthority
Note that we can probably set up read/write access on the source.eecs
webserver for active participants who cannot write to the svn repository
via ssh. I'm offering this primarily to our corporate sponsors who all
seem to be behind firewalls that block ssh.
This method of accessing the ptII svn repository and other methods are
documented at http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal
