True. The "svn co" command is described in the webpage I mentioned.

If they are available you can choose when you'd like to use it: simply press TAB and see if there's something useful for you.

Maybe we could cooperate somehow. I was thinking that Emacs Dired mode could trigger x10 or x10c++ given a list of marked directories. I'm not expert on Emacs, I'm not planning to become and I'm not willing to learn Lisp... but maybe one day wasted on this subject could produce some good results which could be applied over and over every time I press a key combination which compiles/runs everything.
