Nathan,
I have the same issue in my organisation, where we store documents
in svn (we have ~400 official references for them, growing by ~100 per
year). At the end of the day, no one wants to update all its repository
in one shot, it would be too long !
VSS has this funny feature of proposing a default checkout dir, and
it lacks in SVN (or more preciselly in Turtoise).
For me, this is more a conflict between the different population
which use SVN and the ones who used to use VSS. If SVN wants to help
people switching from VSS, this is a must have !
Regards,
Vincent.

Each user is interested in 10-20 very specific areas of the repository - the rest is irrelevant to them. For instance, it would be normal for a user to want to access the following areas of the repository:
>
> /Support/Security/Keystores/Production
> /Network/HP/ChangeRequests
> /Product/Hardware/Customers

What I'm imagining is that I would set the "working folder" for the entire repository to "C:\Documentation", then when I went to check out one of the folders listed above, TortoiseSVN would fill in the local path for me (e.g. C:\Documentation\Support\Security\Keystores\Production). Is there a way to achieve this in TortoiseSVN? Is there another feature that will prevent users from having to type in the local path each time?
