OK, I reinstalled, portable method, so I wouldn't have to F around with hidden folders, etc. Now, additionally, for the SVN Repo plugin, there is an "install" txt file. In that it indicates:
2. copy launchers.xml into "UserData\plugin_data\programs\launcher" (you should create this directory manualy)
The problem is, there is no launchers.xml file. In fact, there's no launchers anything file.
Edit: ok, I misread that, but then again, it's not completely clear. What that meant was take all of the <.xml> files and copy them to the directory that you need to create. Jeez.
Ok, so for us non-geek speakers..... I'll tell you what I did. This is from the "portable" install option.
A. I used the revision 20925 XBMC Windows version. Since I was having trouble getting plugins/scripts installed and found manually, I hunted around and found a link to MC360 skin since you need it to install SVN Repo as a favorite and can then access it in the PM skin once you switch back to it. (It's in the middle of this page: http://blackmarket.ictcsc.net/files/skins/)
B. Here are the SVN Repo install instructions found in the install.txt file with this 20925 revision install:
1. copy Launcher directory into "Plugins/programs folder"
2. copy launchers.xml into "UserData\plugin_data\programs\launcher" (you should create this directory manualy)
3. edit launchers.xml and adapt it to your needs.
4. run XBMC and launch the plugin from "Programs" section.
(if programs section isn't available, switch to MC360 skin, go to Games->Applications, mark Launcher as Favorite and switch back to your default skin)
---if you used this revision install, the Launcher directory should already be there (#1). To clarify #2, in the UserData subfolder, you have to create plugin_data subfolder, then program subfolder in that, then launcher folder in that..... 3 levels of subfolder past the UserData subfolder. I found .xml files by doing a search in the Plugins/programs folder by searching: <*.xml> (sure as hell looks like you should search for "launchers.xml" though, doesn't it!). Also, I have no idea how to edit these .xml files, so I'm leaving well enough alone for now.
C. Once you assign the XBMC the MC360 skin, do the above in #4.
D. Once back the Project Mayhem, access favorites and you should be able to find the SVN Repo in the favorites section. From there you can check out addons and scripts and install what you want.
I haven't tested anything yet, but I'll check back and let you know my progress.
