How to cite sourcecode from an svn repository

Question

As part of my thesis I read some sourcecode. Unfortunately this sourcecode is only available as an svn repository. How do I write a reference to it? The shortest way I found of accessing it is:

svn checkout -r187 http://seccompsandbox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ seccompsandbox-read-only

How do i write a reference to such sourcecode?

Answer 1

A possibility would be

@misc{key,
  title = {http://seccompsandbox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/},
  howpublished = {svn checkout -r187},
}

If you consider biblatex it has an @online entry type with support for version

@online{key,
  url = {http://seccompsandbox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk},
  version = {svn checkout -r187},
}
