That's good to know for next time.

We'll see, I think I have them though.

OK, I'm stuck here already. I don't think I can checkout to a folder
that has a .bzr in it. At least, I just get the error message that the
.bzr file already exists.

No, it's in the root folder of my project, where it always is.

Done:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816627/PyDSTool-15OCT12.zip

I kept all the html docs in there, as they are versioned too. But it

Your time is much appreciated...
