Need help with BitKeeper checking out files

I'm looking into using BitKeeper to keep track of changes for web development projects for a group of people.

I'm running WindowsXP, and have successfully created a repository of the files.

I read the manual, and sort of understand how to edit the files, and submit them back to the repository.

But I can't figure out how to get the latest files in the first place.

I've tried using bk clone and create a local repository, then bk -r edit. But now I can all the editable files amongs the repository itself. This is a problem 'cos when I want to upload the project, I have to deselect all the SCCS folder from each directory, which contains old revisions of each file, and it just doesn't make sense to do that.

How do you check out files from a repository, edit them, and get a copy that does not haev those SCCS folder with old files inside?
