svn co  http://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/branches/netfilter-ha/
It does just copy the repository to your disk.

The other way around.

The patches from svn.netfilter.org do not apply on linux-2.6.16.

 1. get http://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/branches/netfilter-ha/
 2. patch it with my patch
 3. run quilt / patch the kernel
 4. build kernel

Ok.
