# cd /etc # svn checkout http://your.server/your/etc . This will store the files directly in /etc as you wish. However, it may not be quite what you want, because it will refuse to overwrite any files you may already have in /etc. (I'm guessing you would want it to do so.) There have been some requests for upstream to deal with this situation more gracefully, but from what I can recall, the discussions haven't ever ended conclusively and nobody has stepped up to do the work.
