FW: Multi-path updates

From: Miller, Eric <Eric.Miller_at_amd.com>

I posted this question/issue on users@ and got a little bit of info from
Erik Huelsmann but wanted to see if I could get some more helpful
comments.

Basically I would like to be able to perform a partial tree update (svn
up -N [dir/file set]) with the same efficiency as a completely recursive
update. Currently, using a target list takes much longer (see below).

I'm willing to implement my own update procedure but after digging
through some docs I'm wary that I may be in over my head.

So - anyone have any ideas or pointers? Has this been done already?
Barring that, could I possibly call svn_ra_do_update with a custom
reporter that only returned info for my file set? Am I going down the
wrong path here?

Thanks for any info!

Eric
