When this problem came up, the --non-interactive flag was missing when calling 
svn. This was fixed before this bug was actually filed.

Double checked my Bespin account, and it seemed that the project has been checkout successfully.   I guess it would be great if the console can show the code checkout progress, so that users will not take it as UI lock-up & no feedback.

We don't currently have a way to display the checkout progress. However, the 
current trunk code dismisses the checkout form and replaces it with a 
"Working..." display, which is certainly better UI feedback than the current 
production version.

Also worth noting is that I opened a bug earlier after I found that some VCS 
processes in the queue were actually holding things up.

Thanks for the feedback!

Got it.  Thank you for the response.  

I still need some learning to get familiar with the Bespin environment (just figured out it has no 'cd' command, instead it offers a File Browser).  However, Bespin seems to be a very interesting/promising service, which worth such learning efforts.   Great job!

Thanks!

Also note that Bespin has Quickopen (cmd-I on Mac, ctrl-I on others) and 
commands like "open" on the command line offer filename completion, so it's 
generally pretty quick to get to whatever you want.
