Thank you. I must have missed this before.

How is that performance-wise for a wc of ~150000 files?
If this usage would imply telling the ra-layer (and everything behind it, ie
network and repository) that I've got 140000 files which are all empty - I
believe it's faster to use an status-editor, remember which files need to be
updated and get these with svn_ra_get_file(), possibly batched.

Or, possibly the best way performance-wise, I'd get an status, check which
files I _don't_ have anymore, and report only these with start_empty ...

I'll have a look.

(Yet :-)
And there's no possibility to get specified chunks (yet) (?)

Thank you very much!
