Yes, thank you, that was very helpful. :-)
I have done some tests along these lines already.
I see two problems with this, which I believe can be fixed
within the constraints of subversions philosophy.
1) svn list -R is extremely slow, which makes it hard to
use it generously to provide a simplified file-name-only-based
interface for checkout.
I believe there are several issue entries about this already.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1742
and http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1809
2) It would be great to have another option, similar to -N,
but one level "stronger", that only updates the directory
(i.e. creates it, updates its properties, etc.), but does
not download any of its files.
What do people think?
Is it possible and useful to fix these two?
Cheers,
Carsten.
