Hi, Stefan
I was thinking in how could TortoiseSVN help users to do this kind of
sparse checkout in complex repository structures (where checkout
individual directories can be exhausting). For instance, in structures
where there are hundred of branches/tags but where you are interested
just in few ones. In fact, it’s just an idea in how could TortoiseSVN
help users to define the repository sparsity automatically to every
new checkout. See if this would work:
Tortoise could look at a new tsvn property valid only to directories.
For instance “tsvn:default-depth”, with possible values “empty”,
“files”, “immediates” and “infinity”. If a checkout is requested in a
higher level than the directory where the property was defined (for
instance, in the repository root) TortoiseSVN will behave as if the
user had used “--depth=” directly just for this directory. If the
checkout is done in the same level of the directory, TortoiseSVN will
behave as the user choose in the “Check-out” window.
Best regards,
Volnei
