There are two routes, in each you'll need to replace 'developername'  
with your R-forge name.  I use the first too keep track all changes in  
the repository.

1) Check out the base repository

svn co svn+ssh://developername@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/ 
phylobase/

you see a folder branches/newlabels
while the 'trunk' is in pkg/

2) To get the changes in another branch, you also switch the  
repository on your computer to the branch on the server...

cd ../phylobase/pkg
svn switch svn+ssh://developername@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/ 
phylobase/branches/newlabels

This will switch svn to the branch for updates AND commits.  This is  
useful if you've made many changes to the trunk and decide you'd like  
to add them as a branch.  You can make a new branch, then switch to it  
and commit.
