Answer 1

Create a folder where you want to keep the code, and right click on it. Choose SVN Checkout... and type http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk into the URL of repository field.

You can also run

svn checkout http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

from the command line in the folder you want to keep it (svn.exe has to be in your path, of course).
