Re: Issue 730 related question about svn_ra_reporter_t interface

Please forgive me if this is an idiotic question, but can someone
explain why checkout does anything different from update? Shouldn't
checkout just create the top .svn directory and then invoke update?

I know that checkout is different from update in CVS, but then CVS has
that module thing going on. CVS modules are not present in Subversion,
right?

I think the correct way to handle issue 730 is to move the dav
checkout model into libsvn_client so all RA layers can benefit. In
short, this model is:

   - fetch the top-level directory's props and a list of entries.

   - in an atomic fashion, create the .svn directory for that directory,
     populating its .svn/entries directories

     *** (if we are interrupted after this step, 'svn up' will see all
         missing children and fetch them, building out subtrees and all)
...

Isn't this just reimplementing update?
