Can you use a release rather than a checkout?

Alternatively, you could check out the package directly from:

   svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Zope3/trunk/src/zope/interface

I do really hate externals. :)

When I have time, I think I'll reorganize the repository to:

- finally move the actual interface code from the Zope 3 project
   to the zope.interface project, and

- Add an svn: external in the Zope 3 project.
