Sparse Checkout With Externals (1.7.6)

[coolie <pc...@senscient.com>]

Specifiyinfg 'immediates' or 'files' does not checkout the externals
for a folder with this property set.

If you then do a checkout with 'infinity' you get the libs, but
subsequent updates delete the lib again!. I can't seem to stop this
behavior now as no matter what I do the lib always gets deleted.

So:
 a) how do I do sparse checkout on a folder with externals
 b) how do I now get my libs to stay when I do an update?

I found out that I need to use --set-depth to make the depth stick, so
solved this one. Just setting --depth is ignored on the next update.

Yes, this is a known issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3311 (externals
are not created unless depth=infinity)

I don't understand this bit. Can you describe an example, preferably
with a set of command line commands, starting from an empty
repository, and demonstrating what you mean?
