shortcut link to long url path

Hello,

How would one set up a sort of symlink to a subfolder buried deep inside a
repository, such that people checking out the code need not have to type
such a long url?

For example, there is a folder of libraries in
http://svn.domain.com/large_project/trunk/module_c/component_a/lib to which
I want to provide certain users easy access.  It would be nice if I could
provide a kind of alias/shortcut/redirect such that people only interested
in that folder need only type the following to get to it:
   svn co http://svn.domain.com/special_lib

I've tried a Redirect directive in apache only to find that subversion
doesn't like 302 and 303 redirects.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,


-Al

Or use an "external".

Give your users a shell script or batch file.
