I hope you understand that one user checking out a directory does not
mean another user will not be able to checkout. subversion provides
simultaneous edits. The user doesnt need to lock the file to use
check-it-out/use-it.
hmm, having said that, the state of the working copy file needs to be
stored someplace relative to the actual checked-out-file. Since this is
anyways a cost incurred at a directory level, it would serve greater
purpose to check out the whole directory.
If the unnecessary files in the directory is huge and if you are
concerned about disk space, I totally understand. In that case, you
could create a branch that reflects a directory tree as needed by each
user and the user should check out that branch. merge with trunk as and
when needed
I know all these are workarounds for NOT providing file level access.
IIRC, there are some discussions to implement such/similar features...
just hang in there :)
