Granular check-out
For a larger project where we're integrating automated access to SVN
repositories into a product, I'm looking for a way to perform more
granular check-outs from SVN repositories. These are the problems I'm having:
- I need to be able to check out single files (svn cat won't do, as it
won't update the .svn meta information)
- I need to be able to check out a directory without any files (so
that only the files needed can be checked out later).
- I need to be able to check out a directory with its subdirectories,
but without any files.
Are any of these possibel with SVN? Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Christian

SVN does not support these features. Issue #695, which is being
actively worked on now, will address similar concerns, but isn't
exactly what you're looking for, it sounds like.

I don't believe the standard Subversion client supports any of those
features. Perhaps it could be built by writing your own client using
the Subversion API.
