I’m trying to pull out stuff from ruby’s svn repository and following  
the instructions at…  
[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/ruby-core/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/ruby-core/)

I get…

svn co [http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk](http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk) ruby  
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in  
response to PROPFIND request for ‘/repos/ruby/trunk’

Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

svn co [http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk](http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk)

seems to work here.
