Question about checkouts

[Lloydris Garvey <ll...@newisys.com>]

I want to checkout the contents of two sub-directories to the same location. The first gets checked out, but the second gives an error stating " DIR is already a working copy for a different URL."
When I combine the checkouts, I get the parent directory which I do not want. I only want the sub-directories.
Any idea of a workaround?

Let's say you have a directory structure something like the following:

project/
  mydir/
    dirA/
    dirB/
    dirC/

And you want to check out dirA and dirB into the current directory.  Try the 
following recipe:

[mydir]$ svn co -N http://server/svn/project/mydir .
 U .
Checked out revision XXX.

[mydir]$ svn up dirA
A  dirA
A  dirA/file1
A  dirA/file2
Updated to revision XXX.

[mydir]$ svn up dirB
A  dirB
A  dirB/file1
A  dirB/file2
Updated to revision XXX.
