Perhaps more directly, exactly what problems are you having?
As John mentioned, you also need to check out the tools directory from
.../svn/tools, typically to a sibling directory of your trunk checkout.
Don't be confused by the tools subdirectory inside your trunk checkout;
they're entirely different. If you are seeing tool problems, that's
probably what's missing.
The checkstyle stuff, including gwt-customchecks.jar, should work fine under
ant as-is; if you're trying to use it in Eclipse, start with
${trunk}/eclipse/README for installation and configuration instructions.
If you're using that old of an svn, there's some pattern-matching in our
<svninfo> task definition that may also mismatch, causing an ant error...
I'd update just to be newer, but I know that "old enough" svn's don't meet
the expected patterns; I'm not sure how old "old enough" is.
