Re: Re: SVN checkout from branch...Failing

     Hi Ryan, In my ant build script, i have 2 targets...i have included the same...in a concise way Target 1 : <target checkoutFromTrunk> svn checkout http://svn.example.com/repo/trunk wc </target> Target 2 : <target checkoutFromBranch> svn switch http://svn.example.com/repo/branches/somebranch/somedir wc/somedir </target> User 1 executes checkoutFromTrunk target, it fetches...all code from trunk.... Now User 1 executes checkoutFromBranch target, it gets code related to one folder(somedir)...to the local. (i.e. updates this directory code from the branch). So far so good.. Now if user2 tries to executes checkoutFromTrunk, he gets updated code from trunk...except for this one folder(somedir) My doubt was...when he executes checkoutFromTrunk, cant we get all the code from trunk including that of the folder(somedir)???

But I think I can help you. If I understand correctly, you want a working copy where most of the files are from the trunk, but one directory of files comes from a branch? That can be done like this: >> > >> >svn checkout http://svn.example.com/repo/trunk wc >> > >> >svn switch \ >> >http://svn.example.com/repo/branches/somebranch/somedir \ >> >wc/somedir >> >> suppose i execute the target....in the below way... >> >>User1 (combination of both trunk & branch) >> >> checkout from trunk.... >> >> checkout from branch(1 folder belonging to user1) >> >>User 2 >> >> checkout from trunk....only... >> >>User 1 executes and runs the 2 targets...successfully >> >>but now when user2 wants to execute target to checkout from trunk only.. >> >> all the code comes from trunk (except the 1 folder of branch) >> >> >>How can we avoid this situation...so that all the code including that 1 folder will have the code from the trunk... >> > >I don't know what you mean by "execute the target".
