a trick for checking out and updating the UIMA web-site

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

Since 1.6 release, SVN has a new technology that lets you discard (only from
your working copy) parts of a checkout.

When you check out the UIMA website - you get all of the "generated" docs we
(currently) keep there, in the subdirectory /docs/d/.  Since these are 1000's of
files, it slows things down a bit for various operations in your working directory.

You can discard this part of the checkout using:

cd <working-dir-to-top-of-website-checkout>

svn update --set-depth exclude docs/d

This churns for a while, discarding the local working copy of the /d/
directory.  But from then on, you have a much smaller working directory.

All of the normal operations you might want to do work as before.  See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.advanced.sparsedirs.html
for more on this option.
