RE: Re: 'svn export' is inconsistent with 'svn checkout' for nested directories

You're correct. Your explanation of the expected results is better than
mine.

The 'svn checkout http://<repository>/svn/trunk/dirA/dirA1 dirA/dirA1'
results in:

dirA
dirA/dirA1
dirA/dirA1/.svn
dirA/dirA1/<files>
dirA/dirA1/<subdirs>

whereas the 'svn export http://<repository>/svn/trunk/dirA/dirA1
dirA/dirA1'
results in:

Windows XP --- svn : Can't create directory 'dirA\dirA1': The system
cannot find the path specified
 
Linux - FC3 --- svn: Can't create directory 'dirA/dirA1': no such file
or directory

Note: Neither dirA nor dirA1 exist prior to executing the svn command.

I haven't had the opportunity to track down the issue fully yet, but
libsvn_client/checkout.c is using svn_io_make_dir_recursively().

It surprised me that 'checkout' and 'export' are using totally separate
source code. I would have expected that 'export' is just a 'checkout'
without the .svn directory being created locally.

Why this? If it works/worked properly (auto-creating parent dirs),
I would rather expect

dirA
dirA/dirA1
dirA/dirA1/.svn
dirA/dirA1/<files>
dirA/dirA1/<subdirs>

Same here, or did I misunderstand what you mean?

Since ./dirA does not exist, the following would expected by me.

You should create 'dirA' before doing the export.

I'm astonished that it works for checkout.
You're right, that is inconsistent.
