sparse directories on 1.5 question

can i change the --depth argument at any time in a working copy to  
give me more or less hierarchy under a particular directory? sometimes  
i want just an empty dir, other times i want everything.. does the  
sparse directories feature handle that?

There are not explicit commands to remove checked out depths in 1.5 but 
there are workarounds.

For the discussion/bug reports see:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2843

Also see the following for the remaining bug which affected the 
workaround (and is resolved in 1.5):

hmm, so way to change the depth of a sparse directory in the workspace  
once you've done the initial checkout..

thats a real shame, thats exactly what we need!

You might want to read the nightly 1.5 book section on this topic.
