Subversion authentication/authorization for getting latest source tree?

I wanted to get the latest Rails source tree using subversion by
executing the following command on my machine:

svn co http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/trunk

However, I am prompted for a username and password.  I tried my e-mail
address and password for this and the rails-commit mailing lists along
with my name (without the @<domain> portion of the e-mail address) and
the same password as well as the anonymous username and a blank
username but no luck.

How does one go about getting access to the rails source tree so that
they can make changes and submit them through the patch system?

Thanks,

Nick
