see the "Switch the repository" section here to change over to the dev branch 6:
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToSVN
and
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/DownloadSource

but if you've already svn up'd to GRASS 7 I don't know if you can go backwards without a fresh checkout.


probably right now the trunk/grass 7 is currently stable to use, but that will not remain the case for long.
