How to have same directory structure as that of the server ???

[Mick Ken <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Friends,
I have a question regarding checkout. Is there someway in subversion
to specify a default checkout directory structure matching the exact
same structure as the server. For instance, if someone checkouts:

http://subversion/project1

Then by default it should create the working directories as they are
laid out on the server for e.g. C:/svn/category1/project1

I have seen some source code versioning systems that does this ... but
with Tortoise SVN I do not see any such options.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mick

No. Subversion doesn't know anything about the structure of the data  
you put in your repository, other than that it is files and  
directories. If you want something special to happen on checkout,  
then write a script to implement that special behavior, and use that  
script instead of using "svn checkout" directly.
