No, you can't attach anything on this group. (see above)

I don;t see the problem, but you may need to do all the same stuff with
"update" instead of "co" to actually get the files. The "co" may have
just set up the file structure for the files to later be loaded into.

Be aware you will catch hell if you try to edit any of the files on a
Windows
machine to later commit back to the repository. Windows uses a different
end of line sequence, and people putting files back through a Windows system
make it impossible to tell what lines have been changed for this reason. It
thinks EVERY line has been changed.
