Re: How do I check out a subset of directories

You could use this trick:

Create an empty folder in the repository (named /EMPTY or something like
that). And leave it empty.

Check out entire trunk:

mkdir /home/user/wc
cd /home/user/wc
svn co svn://localhost/Trunk/

+---Trunk
    /.../
    +---Limit_Calculation
    +---List_Result
    +---Message
    +---Report
    +---Resource
    | +---CustomHelp
    | | +---NotConnected
    | | \---SampleStatus
    | \---Icon
    +---Sig_figs
    +---Userfiles
    +---Worksheet
    \---_Custom
        +---Data
        +---Message
        \---Report

Go into the working copy and switch all the directories you don't need to
point to /empty

svn switch svn://localhost/EMPTY Limit_Calculation
svn switch svn://localhost/EMPTY List_Result
svn switch svn://localhost/EMPTY Message
... etc ..

And you have a single working copy containing only files that you need (+
some folders you don't need, but at least they are not taking up any
space)

Now you can update and commit you entire WC and everything would work just
the way it should.

Cheers,
