[edit] SVN

The Glest project on Sourceforge no longer uses CVS so I'm adding the instructions for the SVN currently being used.

I used kdesvn to checkout the Glest code, TortoiseSVN can be used for Windows.

1. Go to menu ” Subversion -> General -> Checkout a repository ” and enter the URL: https://glest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/glest
2. Then select a directory to put the files in.

or for command line:

1. Go to a directory, on a console, where you want the files
2. Enter 'svn co https://glest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/glest glest' (make sure svn is installed)
