You mean that I do a svn_ra_do_update() to the target revision, and then tell
the ra layer that I have that directory at HEAD (via SVN_INVALID_REVNUM), but
empty?

No, I didn't try that ... I always put FALSE for start_empty.
I gave set_path the path "" and my old revision number (0 for new check-out).

But you're right, that could work...

I'm a bit concerned (because I don't know all the implications) what happens
if the repository-directory I'm using gets deleted and substituted by
another ..
But in normal working order I should just get a lot of DELETEs and ADDs, and
on a fresh checkout I'd only get the ADDs, right?

Hmmmm... thank you very much, I'll have a try.

Regards,

Phil
