Res: How to checkout only the tree structure of a repository

Ryan Schmidt, A very common situation in my company is: I - We want all people to contribute to store important informations on the repository; II - We have some rules to classificate all the files that might be stored. In such a way, that everybody following those rules would put that file in the same folder. III - The repository has a big tree structure, more than 10 levels. A - People seek over the tree structure to find the correct place to put a file and even create another sub-folder. It would be a nice feature that they could seek over the tree structure of a working copy without wainting 30 minutes to checkout all the files. B - People don't know if the file is shared in the repository, but with those rules (II) they know the exactly sub-folder it should be. Then, if we have a tree structure an efficient and straight way to get that file is to checkout all the contents of that sub-folder. There are some other situations that I could post here. As much as I understood until now there is no way to checkout a working copy containing only the tree structre. Then, a quite similar solution would also help me: Checkout only the smallest file of every folder in the tree structure. Is it possible??

I don't understand why you want the intermediate folders. What's wrong with something like: svn co $REPO/X/XYZ X-XYZ ? I often did this for our repository which also had a client>project hierarchy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe_at_subversion.tigris.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-help_at_subversion.tigris.org _______________________________________________________ O Yahoo! está de cara nova.
