     66 You can get the latest source code by Subversion at INRIAGForge:
     67 
     68   svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
     69 
     70 or
     71 
     72   svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
     73 
     74 (the last argument can be any directory name). You can use
     75 
     76   svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
     77   svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags
     78 
     79 to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
     80 particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
     81 can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
     82 For more information about Subversion, please see:
     83 
     84   * http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ (the official Subversion book);
     85   * http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp (written for GCC developers,
     86     but interesting general information can be found there);
     87   * http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html (the Subversion FAQ).
     88 
     89 Subversion users should read the file "README.dev" (provided via
     90 SVN only).
