checkout / export profiles

[Ken Sands <ke...@dsine.co.uk>]

Hi all, I was trying to work out if svn has anything like or a way of
waving different profiles that can be used for checkout or export that
would give you specific subsets of the overall repo.
 
before everyone thinks of just create a tag or limit depth let me
picture it a little
 
you have 1 repo with your fairly large project, to build or work on the
whole thing you get down the head revision no problem
 
within the project perhaps you have a graphics folder but also some code
relating to the processing of such and a few other bits, either way if I
just weanted to work on this subset of the project without getting the
whole lot I'd currently need to setup 7-8 svn checkout call to specific
files within the repo. what would be great is if files could be labeled
when adding to the repo, and the possible labels noted in the overall
repo so that you could simply ask for HEAD/predefined_subset1  and it
would then give you a checkout of just the files determined to be
related to that.
 
I'll leave this post at that, I'm sure this is something that is done
anyway and I'm just missing the page of the manual everyttime but if not
then any thoughts?
 
Ken.

Thanks that's all I could really find, which is a tast for the client, i was hoping there would be a way of tagging files on the server so it would be as simple as choosing a checkout profile to get the list of files, that way if I add a new file which goes with a couple of the subprojects I could tag it as such and then the updating the "sparse" checkouts in the profile style would automatically include that.

seems like something that would be pretty easy to implement, perhaps it'll get implemented in the future.

That doesn't exist. But what you can do is check out a sparse working  
copy. Read about it here:

http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#sparse-checkouts

It may take a couple svn commands to set up your working copy so if  
you expect to need to set up new working copies of this type often,  
you could automate it with a script.

Note you don't need more than a single "svn checkout" command. The  
subsequent commands will be "svn update".
