Re: feature request: Selective Checkout

Depending on the language you work with these are good tools to do what
you want:

make
ant
phing

any others?

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) subversion goal is to version and
protecting files and directories and it isn't the tool that solves every
problem related to files and directories.

In any case subversion doesnt support all operations on single files,
some (like checkout) can only work on directories..
