Thanks, Platonides.
I know the svn command to checkout or export a directory.
But I want to emphasis that the collaboration model are different between svn and git.
For example, if I want to add some test cases, I need someone to grant me the svn access.
While in github, I can push my contribution back to upstream very easily, and the original author can choice what back to him.
Above is just my advice, if Andreas choices svn, I will follow his change on svn also.
Let's drop the irrelevant discussion on git/svn issue, and back to the main topic.
Regards,
Mingli

svn doesn't have the git inconvenient of forcing you to checkout all or
nothing.
To get only libmwparser just run:
svn checkout
