Hm, that's not easy. The way tags work currently in Subversion
(implemented as cheap copies) is kind of limited, and does not really
facilitate that use case. I hope one day Subversion will have a more
advanced tagging mechanism, but in the meantime ...
One way you could do this would be by creating the tag from a sparse
working copy. I.e. a working copy in which you only put the things that
you want to tag (by using the sparse directories features, --depth
options etc.). Then tag that working copy.
If you want to learn more about sparse directories, you should first
read the relevant chapter from the book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.sparsedirs.html
Here are some hints on how to create such a sparse working copy with
TortoiseSVN:
- Start with a checkout with Checkout Depth = "Only this item" of your
Parent folder
- Then go to that folder, Right-click, and open TortoiseSVN's Repo
browser
- In Repo browser, right-click Sub_A and select "Update item to
revision"
- Select Update Depth = "Only this item", OK
- In Repo browser, right-click File_A_1 and select "Update item to
revision"
- Select Update Depth = "Only this item", OK
- Repeat for Sub_B and File_B_1
After this you should have a sparse working copy only containing the
wanted items. If you update the root of that working copy, it will only
update what's in there (i.e. it remembers the depth settings you
selected). If you branch/tag that one, I think only those items are
copied to the tag.
HTH,
Johan
