What I mean is that a remote repository tracker/viewer is something
thats needed to checkout a project from VCS and open it inside KDevelop
without leaving the IDE. Thats something thats really missing right now.

I wasn't talking about checking out from commandline, I did mean
checking out inside KDevelop with a repo browser you can have kde's svn
configured once and then easily check out any subproject from that.

As I don't use KDevelop for VCS at all I can't really comment on that.
