Please review CAL Subversion Repository information before proceeding.

The first step is to checkout the 
part/directory of the trunk that will be modifued. 
You don't need to check out the entire trunk, if you
just want to work on one subdirectory.  For example, for
me to start work on cal-meta on a new machine, i'll do:

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
svn co https://docs.astro.columbia.edu/svn/cal-svn/trunk/packages/cal-meta

this lets me avoid all the other packages and information that i don't
really need.

 * Note: you must be added to the list of svn committers on the
repository. The list of people with rw access to the repository 
(which is controlled via uranus:/srv/archive/cal/etc/public-svn-authzfile).
