HI,  
I think you need to have installed subversion, for rails to know how  
to use svn protocol. If you are using Windows I recommend TortoiseSVN.

Hope this helps!

Actually, TortoiseSVN doesn’t come with SVN, it’s just a client. You  
need to install the actual server software. You don’t have to  
configure or run the server itself however. Once you download and  
install Subversion, SVN command will be available and ruby will work  
fine with “svn://” protocol.
