limited svn update
Hello,
I've just started svn and now run into this... I wonder how to deal with it.
I've imported a *large* (about 230MB) vendor tree into subversion. That
took a long time on 0.27.
Now I've tagged that, so basically in the repo there is this:
..../3rdparty/ACE/current
..../3rdparty/ACE/someversion
I've created someversion by copying from URL to URL, since I'm not
really interested in getting someversion on disk. So on disk I have a
complete ACE/current.
Now I have two questions.
1. how cvan I limit other people from getting someversion (since this is
the vendor tree, most people would not be interested in this).
2. how can I (in my wc) get the someversion directory without actually
getting all of it? I just want to be able to see that it exists, without
having all its contents.
As for #2, I've tried (in 3rdparty/ACE) to do a non-recursive update
(svn up -N .), but that does not create the someversion directory.
I've tried a non recursive update of the someversion directory (svn -N
up someversion), but that results in a very cryptic message: svn:
warning: svn_wc_is_wc_root: 'someversion' is not a versioned resource)
I was hoping it would be possible to extract (limit) update to only
update the directory structure, without fetching any files. Something
along these lines:
svn up --dirs-only
And then later, when interested get the files with a regular update.
Or limit the treedepth:
svn up --maxdepth 3

This is the sort of thing that the "trunk/tags/branches" idea is
about. You haven't shown complete URLs, so maybe you already have
those directories up in "...", but from the sound of your questions,
I think you should organize your repository something like this:
http://host/svn/3rdparty/ACE/trunk/stuff/from/your/current
http://host/svn/3rdparty/ACE/tags/someversion/stuff/from/your/someversion
With this arrangement, your users get
http://host/svn/3rdparty/ACE/trunk, and not "someversion" of it.

I don't think that there's anything in the book yet, but there's an
excellent INSTALL file in the source tree:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/mod_authz_svn/INSTALL
The module gets installed by default in recent releases.

Tobias,
Thanks for this, but what's mod_authz_svn?
And yes, the users should be using the right URL. But there are some
that need to maintain ACE... and getting one version of it takes
(currently) 13 minutes. Not something you'd like to do accidentally.
Yeah, I found svn ls in the meantime as well. Still, I'd like to get
this on disk as well...
Personally I find it inconsistent that 'svn -N up' does create files in
the current directory, but not subdirectories.

I suppose you can use mod_authz_svn to do this, but can't you just
educate your users to use the right URL?

Have you considered using "svn ls" or "svn cat" to achieve this. Both of
them work with URLs.
