From your post to the newsgroup I suspect you have connectivity issues
unrelated to this svn server. However, an alternative is to take a
clone or download a snapshot from my git mirror which is following the
subversion repository using git svn. See
http://www.patthoyts.tk/gitweb.cgi/kitgen/ Gitweb provides
downloadable snapshots using the .zip or .tgz links on the end of the
line for each commit. Grab the most recent I suggest.

The simplest method if just modifying a tclkit.ico file doesn't work
for you is to open a copy of the tclkit.exe using Visual Studio and
replace the icon resource. NOTE: you may well need to decompress the
binary first. The tclkit executables are nearly all compressed using
upx. To manipulate one of these you can split off the database,
decompress then rejoin the database using:
sdx mksplit tclkit.exe  --- this gives you tclkit.head and
tclkit.tail. the head is the exe, tail is the database
upx -d tclkit.head  -- might need to rename it to .exe
modify the tclkit.head resources
upx --best tclkit.head  --- recompress the exe part
copy /b tclkit.head + tclkit.tail tclkit-modified.exe
