Unable to download the sample code for theworldsworststackoverflowclone using Tortoise SVN

Question

After going through stackapps, just tried downloading theworldsworststackoverflowclone with Tortoise SVN.

When I try with Repo-Browser, I get the error:

Unrecognized URL scheme for 
hg clone https ://theworldsworststackoverflowclone.googlecode.com/hg/ theworldsworststackoverflowclone

or when I right click the local folder and try to check out and then getting the error file name, volume name or directory name is incorrect

`https ://` <- is the whitespace intentional? – Grant Thomas Mar 14 '11 at 12:32 — Grant Thomas, Mar 14 '11 at 12:32

TortoiseSVN is an SVN client (as the name indicates). Your project however uses hg (Mercurial), which is a completely different SCM system.

Nice and concise. It bothers me that something so obvious gets asked here, but still. – Matteo Mosca Dec 14 '11 at 13:14
