Misc info
Whatever you do, don't checkout /jakarta/commons as you will be checking out a copy of every tag, trunk, and branch and it will take forever and a day. *Instead*, check out individual components, or (more likely) check out "trunks-proper" or "trunks-sandbox".
Checkout all components
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/trunks-proper/ jakarta/commons/trunks-proper svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox/ jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox
Checkout individual components
