subversion

Hi,

My name is Vipin Gopianth. I am working as a Linux Administrator in a MNC
called US Technology which is situated in India.

Right now we have got around 2000+ employees in our organization. We have
implemented a single sign on policy through AD to all servers,(mail, network
and all kind of applications)

We were using vss and CVS for our version control. Right now w ehave got a
plan to implement SVN with LDAP authentication + apache.

These are the problems/doubts which I have in SVN

1) Can we check out a single file from a repository? ( if ina project
there might be haing lots of directories. One directory might be containing
1000's of file, and if we only needs to change one file then in this case of
SVN we have to check out this 1000 file . its too time consuming I think. )

2) then how will I give the permission for the repositories

eg: I have got a project called network under that linux,windows,security

      we have got users a,b, and c

            a only needs to access network , b to windows and c to security
and a and b to network , like that

how will we achieve that?

These are the queries I have in my mind regarding SVN.

Could you please give me a solution on this?

Thanks and Regards,
