If you don't have permission to upgrade the svn client on your computer, you can try http://tmate.org/svn/ which is a pure java subversion client that supports http, https, svn and svn+ssh connection protocols.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks. I tried that, now i am getting the following error
"svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk' svn: PROPFIND of '/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk': 500 Server Error (http://svn.apache.org)".
Please let me know what could be the reason for this failure.
thanks, -Sundar.

Can anyone let me know how do i download the source of geronimo. I tried using "svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk geronimo", but i am not able to do it. It gives the following error "svn: Unrecognized URL scheme 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk' ". This could be because i am behind firewall. Please let me know how do it checkout the geronimo source using svn.
Sundar,
The secure URL is for committers only. Try using the non-secure URL:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk
The HTTP protocol can easily tunnel through a firewall as long as the firewall allows it. That's actually a big reason that Subversion uses URLs over the HTTP protocol. But if you must use a proxy from behind your firewall, the Subversion client needs to be configured for this. Please see the following section of the Subversion book that discusses configuration options for proxy servers:
