How to get the module name as the top level folder in subversion checkout
Hi,
When I am trying to checkout a module in subversion, it creates three
folders in my current directory - trunk, branches and tags; but it does
not create the module name as the top level folder. Could you please let
know if it's a configuration issue or limitation of subversion.
Regards,
Narendra

Which client are you using?
If you're using the command line client then yes, it should create someproj. If
you're using another client, then it's up to that tool.

The second parameter to co command is the checkout directory. If it is not
provided then it will take the last part of URL in the first parameter.
That is, the dot at the end will NOT create someproj. And without the dot,
it (at least the command line client) should create someproj directory and
checkout everything there.
With the dot, it will checkout everything (trunk, branches and tag in this
case) to the current directory. May be that is what Narendra did? Or may be
he used another client, as Blair mentioned.

I think you need a dot at the end, so something like
svn co svn+ssh://<svn server name>/someproj .

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your prompt response to my query.
My question was a bit different. I am trying to checkout the whole
folder containing trunk, branches and tags just for the verification
purpose.
For example,
svn+ssh://<svn server name>/someproj
Now, ideally it should create "someproj" as a folder in my current
directory and then should download truck, branches and tags into
"someproj" folder. But the someproj folder does not get created, and the
trunk, branches etc get downloaded to my current directory.
I just want to know if this is the desired behavior of subversion or
some configuration issue.
Thanks,
Narendra

There are no "modules" in a Subversion repository. There are only
directories and files.
Check out just the directory you want, and name it what you want. You
almost certainly do not want to check out trunk, all branches and all
tags. Instead, check out only the trunk, or only a specific branch,
or only a specific tag.
For example:
svn checkout http://www.example.org/svn/someproj/trunk someproj-trunk
(checks out someproj/trunk into a local directory someproj-trunk)
