Hosts command line:
[towncar]$ svn co http://svn.automattic.com/tags/2.3.3 .
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/tags/2.3.3'
svn: PROPFIND of '/tags/2.3.3': 403 Forbidden (http://svn.automattic.com)
Also tried from local vista box using tortoiseSVN, with same results. also tried checking out from the trunk.
Must I get a subversion name/pwd from Matt et al. first? If so, that is not even mentioned in the documentation at http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion
… an oversight I’d be happy to correct if this turns out to be the case. Peace.
