Hi, did you use http://evoluspencil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ or http://evoluspencil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ evoluspencil-read-only

as URL for Tortoise? The first one works fine for me...

Thank you for your reply! I was mistakenly selecting the entire line as the URL for SVN.

Although this was my error, perhaps emphasising only the URL in bold on the page would prevent this mistake in the future and improve usability of the page? I'm sure lots of people are using Tortoise and wouldn't think twice about selecting the URL all the way until the end of the sentence.

Currently only the word 'http' is in bold

I did the same thing at first, but I think this is more of a google groups problem, rather than a pencil problem.

It's the default format for all Google Groups Svn Checkout pages.
