  1. SVN Checkout - Copy the files to a local folder and link them to the repository
  2. Export - Same as 1, but not linked to the repository and with no extra control files laying around (can come from a working copy or the repository)
  3. Save As - Export a single file, perhaps renaming it in the process
  4. Copy to - Branch the file or folder into a location in the repository browser tree with an immediate commit.
  5. Copy to working copy - Branch the file or folder into a working copy already on your machine with delayed commit. 5a.Both 4 and 5 preserve SVN history. They differ in the ability to edit the results before committing.
