title: SVN commands don't recognize URL
body: <p>I'm working at a very small startup. A previous employee set up our SVN system. The SVN system is accessed through a URL of the type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://dxxx2:1080/subversion  (works in a web browser)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine for Tortoise. No problems there. I'm trying to write a batch file to to pull down a single trunk file into a Unit Test folder for testing. All of my attempts at accessing by using the above URL results in errors saying that the URL cannot be found. For example:</p>
  
  <p>When I use the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn checkout file:///subversion/Firmware/2-branches//02_Initializations.c 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I receive the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt;checkout_target.bat
  C:\&gt;svn checkout file:///subversion/Firmware/2-branches//02_Initializations.c
  svn: E180001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///subversion/Firmware/2-branches/02_Initializations.c'
  svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
  svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///subversion/Firmware/2-branches/02_Initializations.c'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I use the form: </p>
  
  <pre><code>svn checkout http://dxxx2:1080/subversion/Firmware/2-branches/02_Initializations.c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I receive the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt;checkout_target.bat
  C:\&gt;svn checkout http://dxxx2:1080/subversion/Firmware/2-branches//02_Initializations.c
  svn: E170000: URL 'http://dxxx2:1080/subversion/Firmware/2-branches/02_Initializations.c' doesn't exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I access our SVN through a command-line command that doesn't balk at the URL or port number?
  Or how do I find the local network address of our SVN server so that I can access through a script?</p>
