svn checkout to viewvc link give back redirecting url error

svn

Solution

Thanks to Michael's help I was able to get my answer. Basically viewvc URLs are not the same as SVN urls and cannot be interpreted in the same way. calling svn checkout with a viewvc link would not work. All you have to do is change the link:

website.com/viewvc/tool
to
website.com/svn/tool

and svn should work as usual

Problem

I'm trying to svn checkout the following: ``` http://website.com/viewvc/tool but I get the error: SVN: E195019 Redirect cycle detected for URL... ``` I'm not quite sure if I should be using the viewvc link to svn checkout, but I couldn't find anything else to checkout with on the viewvc page. What am I doing wrong?
