[dcmf] RE: [MPICH2 Req #3926] Open source release of the BGP changes to MPICH2

[Pavan Balaji]

Joe,

You can check out the 1.0.7rc1 release tag:

  $ svn co 
https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/mpi/mpich2/tags/release/MPICH2_1_0_7rc1

You can find the cvsignore information for each directory using:

  $ svn propget svn:ignore .
