checking out single files

[Darren Blaser <da...@extendedsystems.com>]

Our build process requires that we retrieve single files from the 
repository. Checking out entire directories seems to work fine but 
unfortunately whenever a call is made to retrieve a single file I get 
the following error:
svn: Attempted to create entry in non-directory parent

The calling syntax used to create this error is:
svn checkout file:///C:/Repositories/XCPC/rsutils/rsLib/rsUtil.lib 
/rsutils/rsLib/rsUtil.lib

My basic problem is that we have hundreds of .lib files in this 
repository directory and I only want to retrieve one of them -- not the 
entire directory with all of them. The strange thing is that subversion 
creates a directory with the intended file name at the intended 
destination. I have tried several variations on the syntax but I always 
get the same error and instead of checking out the intended file 
subversion creates a directory with the file name.

Can someone help me out or is subversion not able to check out single 
files? I'm running subversion 1.0.2 on Windows 2000 SP4.

Thanks!
