   Nice idea but experimenting with other folks' repositories is a NO-NO.

   That's a good question which I can't really answer but I would guess at     
   probably two.

   No it wouldn't, there would only be one file in the repository.

   Right-Clicking on the Desktop would be a good place to start and then     
   click on "SVN Checkout" but without a repository URL, that's as far as you     
   could go.
