Here is the SVN for Magento CE:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/svn

To checkout Magento's latest and greatest, use the checkout command:

svn checkout http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.8

To checkout our "work in progress" (alpha version), use the following
checkout command:

svn checkout http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.8-trunk
