Re: svn usage tips

Let me get this straight, you're not talking about checking out a
single project vs. the whole tree. You're talking about checking out a
project, but not the externals directories?

You can take a look at several things:

* There's an --ignore-externals flag when you do a checkout. This
prevents any externals directory from being checked out.

* Take a look at the --depth switch. You can checkout a directory,
without checking out the sub-directories, then just update the
subdirectories you want. (Note: There's a --set-depth flag on the
update command to override the setting on the checkout command.

(See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#sparse-checkouts
for more information on the depth switch.)
