Ignore not working as expected
Most likely it's my expectation that's at fault.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
Suppose there's a repository with some tree structure.
20G /
18G /documentation
17G /documentation/library
1G /documentation/procedures
2G /src
If I want to checkout / but I want to neglect /documentation/library, so
I'm checking out a total of 3G instead of 20G
I've tried everything I could think of, with the svn:ignore property,
but never achieved the desired result. Any suggestions?

svn:ignore only influences commands like "svn status" but has no effect on
checkout or export. It's used e.g. to have SubVersion ignore automatically
generated files that you don't want to have under version control (and which
constantly clutter your "svn status" output), like *.o files.
What you want is something entirely different: you want a selective checkout.
This is currently not supported by SubVersion (but IIRC it might be included
in 1.5).
Bye,
Marc

Actually:
svn co -N $REPO wc
cd wc
svn up src
svn up -N documentation
svn up documentation/procedures
End result: there is no "library" directory in the "documentation"
directory. Everything else is checked out, except that if anyone ever
adds a new directory $DIR to $REPO or to the "documentation"
directory, you won't see it in your working copy until you explicitly
run "svn up $DIR".

Plan B: 'svn update -N' -N will do a non-recursive checkout, but it
requires a bit more effort.
svn co -N / # leaves documentation and src empty
svn update src # full checkout of src
svn update -N /documentation # leaves library and procedures empty
cd documentation
svn update /documentation/procedures # full checkout of procedures
End result, library is empty, but everything else is checked-out.

This is the sparse checkout functionality which will be available with
next 1.5 release.
