Question

My Goal

I want to modify wordpress project as per my needs. I also want to record the code difference i made in the project. That is my goal.

This is what i done so far

• I installed recent version of tortoisesvn.
• I’m using windows 7 and i have installed wampserver too
• I created a folder called wordpress in C:/wamp/www
• So C:/wamp/www/wordporess is now the absolute path of my
  wordpress directory. I can able to access it via
  http://localhost/wordpress
• I right clicked on the wordpress directory and created checkout
  using this repository url http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/
• Everything successful so far. I’m so confused about the next step

When i right click wordpress and open repository browser it actually list everything from http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ But i need an environment like trunk,tags,branches in my local directory. I tried by creating checkout on a empty directory(test) by applying url like http://localhost/test but i see some error like redirect cycle detected for url http://localhost/test

Can anyone help me? Thanks

In that case you need to do the checkout from the root and not from the trunk

like http://core.svn.wordpress.org
