BitKeeper - The Scalable Distributed Software Configuration Management System

Before downloading source from a project, you must either have a commercial version of BitKeeper or the free client installed on your machine. If you have a commercial license, use BitKeeper, otherwise use the free client.

Downloading with free client:

Download the client if you have not already done so
Unpack it and build it:

/bin/sh bk-client2.0.shar
cd bk-client2.0
make
From the command line run:

./bkf clone bk://project.bkbits.net/Repository workspace

where project is the name of the hosted project, Repository is one of the repositories of the project, and workspace is where you want the sources to go.
More information on the client may be had by running
./bkf --help

Note that http access is not yet supported by the free client, patches are welcome.
