[Kwintv] CVS -> SVN

[Pedro de Carvalho Gomes]

Subversion does not allow checkout of single files.

Instead you should use the "cat" command. It does not supervise the 
checkout file, but is useful.
For example,the Makefile.am.in file should be fetched like this:

svn cat svn://anonsvn@anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/multimedia/Makefile.am.in > Makefile.am.in
