Noel pointed out to me that the migration to the "new" SourceForge tracker, 
etc. did weird things to SVN. That is, the SourceForge code browser points at 
the "migrated" SVN, but the old SVN repository still exists. And all of us have 
been using it.

So I just pulled the plug. In principal, you cannot write to the SVN repository 
at SourceForge anymore.

If you'd like to access and/or write changes, you'll need to use GitHub. This 
means that some of you will probably need to go create a GitHub account (very 
painless) and point your SVN at a new location:

https://github.com/blog/1178-collaborating-on-github-with-subversion

svn co --depth empty https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel
cd openbabel; svn up trunk
…
# Done!

Better yet, you might consider trying Git. I'm happy to provide some tutorials 
and/or howtos on the mailing list, and there are really nice GUIs from GitHub:
http://mac.github.com
http://windows.github.com

I realize this is a pain, but keeping the SVN at SourceForge is a problem 
waiting to happen. I'll try to facilitate a mirroring system for the 
now-read-only repository at SF.net.
