Yeah i did see that, but I figured is not a checkout thing, its a global argument, for example i was attempting "svn info" I suppose I should have looked in "svn help info" but it wasn't an "info" issue, it was a generic svn application issue.
on a side note, it would have been nice for the error message itself to mention the argument.
