+## Source code repository
+
+You can get the latest development source code from our git
+repository if you want to. This code may not work, run, or even
+compile. You'll also *need* to have the latest versions of
+autoconf, automake, libtool and gettext installed. The files that
+can be generated using these tools are *not* in the repository.
+
+### Accessing the repository
+
+You can [browse the repository](/git/tinc/) online. However, to
+make real use of it you should have to have the git tools
+installed. If you do not have them, you can find them at
+[http://git.or.cz/](http://git.or.cz/).
+Then run either one of these commands:
+
+    git clone git//www.tinc-vpn.org/tinc
+
+or:
+
+    git clone http://www.tinc-vpn.org/git/tinc
+
+This creates a copy of the public repository of tinc. For every
+release of tinc there is a corresponding tag in the git repository,
+you can get an old version by running
+`git checkout release-`*version* on your copy of the git
+repository. If you have checked out a copy of the public
+repository, you can bring it up to date using the command
+`git pull`.
+
+### Log messages
+
+Whenever something is changed in the repository, a log message is
+sent to the tinc-svn list. If you wish to be kept up to date, you
+can subscribe yourself to that [[mailing list|mail]].
+
+### Old Subversion repository
+
+Prior to git, Subversion was used for the source code repository.
+Although the repository was converted to git, and almost all
+history is also available from the git repository, the Subversion
+repository is still available for now. It may disappear in the
+future however. You can
+[browse the old Subversion repository](/svn/tinc/) online, or check
+out a working copy of the main development branch of tinc (up to
+1.0.9) with the following command:
+
+    svn co http://www.tinc-vpn.org/svn/tinc/trunk tinc
