I tried the instructions on how to use TortoiseSVN to get the Lazarus
files as described here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/TortoiseSvn

But Tortoise just initializes and transfers about 6 kb of data and then
nothing more happens. After some time of nothing happening I try to
Cancel, but that does not work so I have to close the dialog completely
using the X button.
Then in order to try again I have to delete the Lazarus folder with its
hidden .svn subfolder and create a new one because Tortoise does
not allow checkout any longer.
Tried it three times now, always the same end: nothing is retrieved.

Is the TortoiseSVN description on the webpage erroneous?

I had to install Tortiose because all other downloads I could find were
for installing an SVN *server*, which I don't want to do. So the only client
I found was TortoiseSVN...
