Your command would have exactly the right effect, but I don't
want to have to type "trunk/paint" twice. Yes, I'm lazy, and
I'm not even ashamed - it's one of Larry Wall's "three virtues
of programming"!
As Ben points out, it isn't really possible to get an actual versioned
working copy of "trunk" (with revision = N, say) without getting all of
its contents, because if it doesn't have all of its contents then it
isn't revision N of trunk by definition. I hadn't thought of that.
The net result of this is that I would like an option that is like -d
but takes the path off the end of the URL. It's a trivial convenience,
not anything high priority, obviously.
Peter.
