Hello,

You probably mean the externals feature. Let's say you make a folder
called externals in your working copy. Schedule it for adding using the
context-menu SVN-Add. Right click the folder->properties. Go to the
SVN-properties tab. There you can select svn-externals in the combobox
and enter a name-url pair of the directory you want svn to automatically
checkout (i.e. "docs svn://myserv/repos/docs/"). When you commit this,
the next time you checkout the folder you have set the property on, it
will automatically create a folder called docs, where it checks out the
latest revision of svn://myserv/repos/docs. Hope that helps.
