+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This is the build-side support code of (guix svn-download).  It allows a
+;;; Subversion repository to be cloned and checked out at a specific revision.

+;;; Code:
+
+(define* (svn-fetch url revision directory
+                    #:key (svn-command "svn"))
+  "Fetch REVISION from URL into DIRECTORY.  REVISION must be an integer, and a
+valid Subversion revision.  Return #t on success, #f otherwise."
+  (and (zero? (system* svn-command "checkout" "--non-interactive"
+                       ;; Trust the server certificate.  This is OK as we
+                       ;; verify the checksum later.  This can be removed when
+                       ;; ca-certificates package is added.
+                       "--trust-server-cert" "-r" (number->string revision)
+                       url directory))
+       (with-directory-excursion directory
+         (begin
+           ;; The contents of '.svn' vary as a function of the current status
+           ;; of the repo.  Since we want a fixed output, this directory needs
+           ;; to be taken out.
