subversion issue 823 - http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=823

Hi,

I am posting this here following the advise of Mr Karl Fogel.

First of all, I would like to know if it is possible to vote for issue 823
in order to elevate its priority?

We, like one of the other respondents (see the URL in the subject, -------
Additional Comments From Garrett Rooney 2003-01-07 15:40 PST -------), can
have thousands of files in one directory and we would like, ideally, to be
able to check out any of them separately.

Second, we need to be able to copy and then checkout a directory with just
one file.

I have succeeded to make a copy of a single file in the subversion
repository using the command:

[13:43:04] user@host:~ $ svn copy
file:///path/to/SVN/Repositories/repo1/trunk/somedirectory/somefile.sh
file:///path/to/SVN/Repositories/repo1/my-file -m "my single file project."

And then failed when tried to check it out:

[13:47:46] user_at_host:~ $ svn co http://host:80/svn/repos/my-file
svn: Error string not specified yet
svn: URL does not identify a collection.
[13:47:50] user@host:~ $

While

[13:52:31] user@host:~ $ svn copy
file:///path/to/SVN/Repositories/repo1/trunk/somedirectory
file:///path/to/SVN/Repositories/repo1/release-0.1 -m "my release 0.1"

[13:59:50] user_at_host:~ $ svn co http://host:80/svn/repos/release-0.1
A release-0.1/somedirectory
A release-0.1/somedirectory/file1
A release-0.1/somedirectory/subdirectory/file1
A release-0.1/somedirectory/subdirectory/file2
...

works flawlessly, and which is even stranger I can point my browser to
http://host:80/svn/repos/my-file and I can actually see the file source
there. It looks like the copy do exists but there is no way to get it back
via checkout.

Hence, my second question is whether this copy problem is a separate bug
which should be posted anew into issues or it is just a consequence of the
present disability of subversion to check out a single file, which is
already opened as issue 823 and therefore it should be added underneath it?

We are using subversion version:

[14:09:31] user@host:~ $ svn --version
