Re: download without .svn folders, but being able to checkout

Checkout and export are your only options.

Query: do you really *need* to have the *whole* repository checked out all

I've seen some geniuses try to check out the whole repository (this includes
all tags and branches!) at $PLACE_OF_WORK instead of just checking out the
trunks. The checkout died overnight after about 30GB.
