Forget about the "excellibrary-read-only" part.

This worked for me:
1. Create a folder called "excel-svn"
2. Right click on the folder and select the Tortoise-SVN menu item "svn 
checkout"
3. In the checkout dialog, specify the url:
        http://excellibrary.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
4. Click ok.

ipv6 broken at googlecode.com

you can temporarily disable it (on Linux) via
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
