Having never worked with Subversion before, I looked at the download
documentation and found documentation for downloading from CVS:
> You can also fetch the sources using a source code control system. The
> advantage of fetching via a VCS is that you can update your sources at
> any time using a single command. See the Subversion instructions
> <http://us4.samba.org/samba/subversion.html> and CVS instructions

> sources using a version control system.
Clicking on the CVS instructions takes you to a long page that has a
note at the top which says to use Subversion. I missed that blurb at
the top of the page. Flashing red might have helped me, but I quickly
scrolled down to the CVS URL and away I went. Bold red messages stating
that this is obsolete around the CVS login instructions might have
helped. Then again, there are some people who are going to do what they
want no matter what the instructions say :) Haste makes waste.
Thanks for pointing out the Subversion instructions that I missed.
