Given the choice, and from the perspective of someone that has a slow ping line (160ms to ping the svn repo), I'd very much prefer it to hit the local checkout as opposed to a network connection. To give you an example: time curl https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/main/src/main/java/org/geoserver/data/CatalogReader.java > /dev/null % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 5818 100 5818 0 0 6623 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 36136 real 0m0.885s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.004s So I would basically a bit less than an extra second in the build per snippet included in the docs. If the docs start making heavy use of it we may add up to a few extra minutes of build time (every time the build is done). I don't know how typical this is, but persuaded it's common enough for people in southern Europe, and may be worse in other countries. Also, this keeps on downloading small amounts at each build, which is not so good in countries where you pay per MB downloaded (and not so good either if you're paying per hour since you can't build without being online). Finally, we're talking about the developer guide here, not the user one, so it does not seem so odd to require a full checkout of GeoServer with sources included.
