Question on checking out multiple projects
I am using OpenGrok as a search engine for SVN.
I have an Archived section of obsolete code that users still want to be able
to search.
It is currently not searchable in our grok installation.
The section is setup like this in SVN:
Archive/project1/trunk
Archive/project2/trunk
Archive/project3/trunk
What I would like to be able to do is use svn co to check out the trunk
folder for each project without specifically issuing a co command for each
project.
Something like this maybe.....
svn co https://repository/Archive/projects/*/trunk
I have been doing a little research but I have not come across any
documentation that helps me understand if this is possible or not.
Does anyone know if this is possible using svn co and if so, what the proper
syntax is?
Regards,
Mark

You probably can't do that in a single command, but it shouldn't be
too hard to get the list of projects with
svn ls https://repository/Archive/projects
and iterate through it with an svn co $path/trunk

You can also use --depth empty in the first command to avoid having
all immediate children in the working copy.
An "svn update --set-depth infinity foo" of a child directory 'foo'
will still work. You'll just need know the name of the child. You can see
the list of children with 'svn ls' even in a depth=empty checkout.
See also the entry in the 1.7 release notes which talks about the new
"svn up --parents" option that makes pulling in children of children
a little easier: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#update-parents

Thanks for the tips Konstantin, I appreciate the help. I'll give it a try.

That is not possible. But you may look into the "sparse checkout" feature.
To set it up you can
1) do "svn co --depth immediates" for the repository root
2) and follow it by "svn up --set-depth" for the subfolders that you
are interested in.
If you are on Unixes then you can use wildcards with "svn up", because
it operates on the local filesystem and unix shell does expand
wildcards there.
That would be something like the following (but read the docs first!)
svn co --depth immediates https://repository/Archive/ Archive
svn co up --set-depth immediates Archive/*
svn co up --set-depth infinity Archive/*/trunk
Warning: do not use "sparse checkout" if your server is 1.4.x or
older. It is not really supported by those old server versions.
