I tried following the directions on the web site -
http://www.boost.org/users/download/

Which states the following:

>
ACCESSING THE BOOST SUBVERSION REPOSITORY
> 
> The Subversion repository
can be accessed in several ways: 
> 
> * Anonymous, read-only access to
the Boost Subversion repository is available at
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost [1]. To access the current Boost
development code, for instance, one would check out from
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [2]. For example, using the
command-line svn, one might use: 
> 
> svn co
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [3] boost-trunk
> On Windows,
TortoiseSVN [4] provides an
> easy-to-use, graphical interface to
Subversion.

However it didn't work. It started to, it got part way
through the download then asked for a password. Now that's all it does:

> ~/boost $ svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk
>
Authentication realm: Boost SVN repository Subversion Access
> Password
for 'user': 
> 
> svn: OPTIONS of
'http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk': authorization failed: Could not
authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge
(http://svn.boost.org)

What password is expected, and why is it not
listed on the web page in the download instructions?
