Check out only objects with a given property?

[Ian Brockbank <ia...@wolfsonmicro.com>]

Hi,
 
Is there any way of checking out only projects with a given property?
Or some way of getting a read-only copy of all files in the tree which
have a property set?
 
The problem I am trying to address is that we support multiple
platforms, and we have files (particularly build files) which are
necessary on one platform but not on others.  Worse, we have NDAs which
only allow us to distribute these files to customers who use the
relevant platforms, so we must not distribute these files to customers
using different platforms.  I have thought of a couple of ways of
addressing this, one of which I know is not yet supported, and the other
which leads to this email.
 
Option 1: Build up the platform directory using a set of svn:externals
definitions.
 
This requires svn:externals to support files as well as directories -
not currently supported.
 
Option 2: Set platform properties on all files, and when constructing
the kits, only get the files with the appropriate property.
 
Is there any way of doing this, short of writing a script to recursively
list the appropriate property on each object and only get it if it
exists?  Something like
 
svn co --with-property fooprop http://svnserver/svn/trunk/proj
