This is what I entered into TSVN:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk

But it does not work..
Our company uses a McAffe firewall and not much passes through. I have
had to struggle for many years until finally the IT department gave in
and opened the NNTP port so I can participate in News discussions like
this (via the GMANE mailist-news gateway).

On initial checkout start it seems like there is a connection to the
svn server because I get an error message if the URL does not point to
a valid svn server. But only about 12 kb is ever transmitted and thre
is just an .svn folder created with some files and then nothing
happens....

At home on the other hand there are no problems at all.

So I though that there is maybe another port I have to start nagging
the IT dept about and then maybe in 2015 it will be possible to use
svn from work. Only then maybe everyone have switched over to GIT
instead????
