+#summary How to get the V8 source code
+
+== Command-Line Access ==
+
+Use this command to anonymously check out the up-to-date stable version of
the project source code:
+
+ `svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8`
+
+If you plan to contribute to V8 but is not a member use this command to
anonymously check out a read-only version of the development branch
+
+ `svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge v8`
+
+If you're a member of the project use this command to check out a writable
development branch as yourself using HTTPS:
+
+ `svn checkout https://v8.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge v8
--username <your username>`
+
+When prompted, enter your generated
[http://code.google.com/hosting/settings googlecode.com] password.
+
+== Source Code Branches ==
+
+There are several different branches of V8 of different stability; if
you're unsure of which version to get you most likely want the up-to-date
stable version in `trunk/`. Here's an overview of the different branches.
+
+ * The bleeding edge, `branches/bleeding_edge/`, is where active
development takes place. If you're considering contributing to V8 this is
the branch to get.
+ * Under `trunk/` is the "stable edge", which is updated weekly. It is a
copy of the bleeding edge that has been successfully tested. Use this if
you want to be almost up to date and don't want your code to break whenever
we accidentally forget to add a file on the bleeding edge.
+ * The stable tags, the most recent one being `tags/0.2`, are created
every few months and have been thoroughly tested and reviewed. Use these if
you want a well-tested version that doesn't change except for bugfixes.
+
+== GUI and IDE Access ==
+
+This project's Subversion repository may be accessed using many different
client programs and plug-ins. See your client's documentation for more
information.
