  It is also possible to checkout files from SVN and have them install to a remote directory. This is accomplished by adding the file path to the end of the SVN command.
  
  For instance:
- svn co https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/maps/branches/1.12 /path/to/map/directory/
+ svn co <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/maps/branches/1.12</nowiki> /path/to/map/directory/
  
  Or, more specifically:
- svn co https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/maps/branches/1.12 /share/crossfire/maps/
+ svn co <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/maps/branches/1.12</nowiki> /share/crossfire/maps/
  
  This would check out the latest changes to maps 1.x branch and place them in the /share/crossfire/maps/ directory.

+ ==== Switching an old 1.x checkout ====
+ Until January 2008, the way the project was using branches was slightly different.  So people looking for small updates and bugfixes to 1.x code would be following a branch called 1.x (eg /maps/branches/1.x).  Now, the branches are actual release numbers: 1.11, 1.12, 1.13.  Doing an update in such 
+ a checkout would simply fail, with the not so helpful message:
+ 
+ > ''svn: Target path does not exist''
+ 
+ So if you use a checkout like that, here's the recommended thing to do:
+ 
+ First you should make a choice.  Do you want to follow the supported, released version, and get eventual bugfixes for that?  Or do you want to  follow the work-in-progress for the next release?
+ 
+ If you want to follow the supported, released version, do this:
+ 
+ ''svn switch <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/$COMPONENT/branches/1.11</nowiki> .''
+ 
+ where $COMPONENT is the thing you're following -- server, client, arch, maps.  So for example:
+ 
+ <code>
+ % cd server
+ % svn switch https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/server/branches/1.11 .
+ </code>
+ 
+ But it would probably be even better to remove your checkout, and instead 
+ create one from the "stable" export:
+ 
+ ''svn co <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/stable/</nowiki> crossfire''
+ 
+ This will get all the components, on the supported version.  It has the significant benefit that when 1.12 is released, you don't have to run "switch" again; you will automatically start following that one.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ On the other hand, if you want to follow the work-in-progress 1.x release (more or less equivalent to the old branches/1.x):
+ 
+ ''svn switch <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/$COMPONENT/branches/1.12</nowiki> .''
+ 
+ for example:
+ 
+ <code>
+ % cd server
+ % svn switch https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/server/branches/1.12 .
+ </code>
+ 
+ But it would probably be even better to remove your checkout, and instead create one from the "next" export:
+ 
+ ''svn co <nowiki>https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/next/</nowiki> crossfire-alpha''
+ 
+ This will get all the components, on the supported version.  It has the significant benefit that when 1.12 is released, you don't have to run "switch" again; you will automatically start following 1.13 instead.
