Nested dirs

["Tandecki, Lutz" <lu...@siemens.com>]

Hello,

I want to check out only part of my repository tree, because I don't
need
the whole tree for my development.

So I check out my root node with the option "Only check out the top
folder",
because I need the files, that reside directly in the root.
After that I check out my subdirs into that checked out root.

When I do so, the checked out subdirs are shown as "nested" if I do
"check for
modifications" in the root. Therefore I can not commit my root node. I
must do 
this for every single subdir. 

Also, the root dir icon in TortoiseSVN does not turn red, if I do
changes in 
my subdirs.

Looking in root\.svn\entries, I do not find the checked out subdirs.
Why not? How can I tell the root that it has the subdirs as entries?
Couldn't this be done by svn while checking out a subdir into its
rootdir?

Hope you can understand my problem.

Greetings, Lutz.

So you did "svn checkout -N url://to/repository. Fine.

Wrong. "svn checkout" creates separate working copies, which is not  
what you want. You want to "svn update foo bar" where "foo" and "bar"  
are the directories whose content you now want to populate.

Don't know anything about TortoiseSVN; you'll have to ask on their  
mailing list.
