checkout in several folders

[James <ol...@yahoo.com>]

I need to check out a big project. There are 5 folders under the top level folder in the project.
If I checkout from the top level folders, I have one .svn folder just under the top level folder.
If I checkout separately folder by folder, there is one .svn for EACH of the subfolder.
My question is which way I should go? 
If I checkout folder by folder now,  and then checkout again at the top level one day later, are there duplicated .svn folders then?


Thanks.

James

Hi James

I suggest you check out from the top but use a 'sparse checkout'. See the manual for what that means.
