\'Object of the same name already exists\'; so autoskip the object?
How do I skip files that I already have locally?
->
j@IDPP-0644:~/compile$ svn checkout svn://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/trunk
svn: Failed to add file \'trunk/data1/default.cfg\': object of the
same name already exists
j@IDPP-0644:~/compile$ cd trunk/
j@IDPP-0644:~/compile/trunk$ svn up
svn: Failed to add file \'data1/default.cfg\': object of the same name
already exists
All I need to do is skip files that are already there. I would have
expected this to be the default action.
I certainly don\'t want to delete it all and start again. This is why
I\'m using SVN; to download only what I need over 3G.
I\'ve looked on the FAQ list, and surprised it\'s not there:

You can check out on top of an existing directory with some existing
files, using the --force option, but it won't save you any bandwidth
versus checking out into an empty directory.

--force is available for checkout and update as of Subversion 1.5.0.

You can write a patch for the FAQ and submit it here and someone can
commit it if it's agreed it's a good change.

Thank you for the help.
It seems I can't do what I want to do. But you have at least saved me
a lot of time trying to do it. I guess since I can't code I'll just
have to wait.
Unless, what it means here is actually referring to changes in each
file rather than different files:
"With the code that is currently in trunk, in this scenario, the svn
checkout command will still need to pull down the same number of bytes
from the server as a "normal" checkout. It is possible that it could
be enhanced in the future to more selectively pull down just the
differences, something like an rsync. A change of that nature has been
deferred for some future release or whenever someone comes along with
enough motivation to tackle it."
j@IDPP-0644:~/compile/trunk$ svn --version --quiet
1.4.6
j@IDPP-0644:~/compile$ svn checkout --force
svn://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/trunk
Subcommand 'checkout' doesn't accept option '--force'
As I say though, thanks for helping out here :-)
I'd like to add this info to the FAQ.

It sounds like this will still checkout all data from the repository,
however, since it's needed in the text-base directory for the
pristine copy. So you won't be saving time by using this option.
