Newbie question using svnserve
I set up an svn repository on my Linux desktop and imported a project,
checked out the files and ran some commits for testing. All O.K.
I then started svnserve to access the repository remotely from my Linux
laptop. When I access the repository using...
svn checkout svn+ssh://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path/to/project
I get the hole project including branches/ tags/ and trunk/ subdirectories.
However, I noticed that when I checkout the project from the desktop (local
to the repository), I get only the project files but not the branches/ tags/
and trunk/ subdirectories. Is this normal? Do I need to receive the branch/
tags/ and trunk/ subdirectories on my remote connection? Is there a way of
only getting the project files?
Thanks,
Tony

Well, understand how it works. The syntax of svn checkout is very
staightforward. From svn help checkout:

We'll just ignore the optional [@REV]... part here. Some examples to
make it clearer:
# Check out /path/to/project into a directory called project
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project
# Same thing
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project project
# Check out /path/to/project/trunk into a directory called trunk
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project/trunk
# Same thing
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project/trunk trunk
# Check out /path/to/project/trunk into a directory called project
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project/trunk project
# Check out /path/to/project/trunk into a directory called foobar
svn checkout $URL/path/to/project/trunk foobar

Thanks. After your reply I ran more examples and reviewed my command history
on my desktop. I found that when I ran the following on the local desktop:
$ svn checkout file:///path/to/project/trunk project
it downloaded the project files without the trunk/ branches/ or tags/
subdirectories. I then tried a similar command on my remote laptop (adding
the extra "project" to the end):
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path/to/project/trunk project
It is not altogether clear to me how the extra "project" is interpreted.
Anyway it works.

You get what you ask for. If you ask for /path/to/project and that
contains directories for trunk, braches and tags (or any other
directories), then you'll get trunk, branches and tags (and any other
directories). That's probably not what you want. (Imagine how long it
would take and how much disk space it would use if you had 10
branches and 100 tags.) You probably only want the trunk, or a
particular branch. So ask for that. Check out /path/to/project/trunk
or /path/to/project/branches/the-branch.
I cannot explain your statement that the behavior is different
locally than remotely. It isn't.
