I read those steps, but was still confused. To this reader, 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/foo is a web URI, not a 
directory. I gather that via subversion it maps to a directory on a server 
somewhere and that using some svn incantations I can make it map to a directory 
on my local machine. But those incantations are not clear unless you are well 
versed in the subversion and Apache’s implementation of it.

Whoever wrote that page committed the first sin of documentation: they wrote 
for themselves, not for their audience.
