The full history of nemiver is in git now, so you don't need svn.  If you clone the git 
repository, you can easily look at the source from 0.6.3.  For instance, to see all of the 
tags in the nemiver repo:


$ git tag -l
nemiver-0.1.0
nemiver-0.3.0
nemiver-0.4.0
nemiver-0.5.0
nemiver-0.5.1
nemiver-0.5.2
nemiver-0.5.3
nemiver-0.5.4
nemiver-0.6.0
nemiver-0.6.1
nemiver-0.6.2
nemiver-0.6.3
nemiver-0.6.4
nemiver-0.6.5

If you want to see what the source code was like at tag nemiver-0.6.3, you can either use 
a git repository viewer (e.g. gitk, giggle, gitg), or you can browse the repository on the 
web (the 0.6.3 tree is available at this url: 
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/nemiver/tree/?id=nemiver-0.6.3), or you can simply checkout that 
version in your local repository:

$ git checkout nemiver-0.6.3

and your working directory will be updated to the version specified by that tag. (Don't 
check in any changes to that branch though -- make sure you check out the master branch 
again before doing any actual work)
