Can I just check out the directory and not the files?

[Ron Olson <ta...@gmail.com>]

Hi all-

I have a project in Subversion that I would like to add files to but I
don't want to get the files already there. Basically, the story is
this: I have a big directory in Subversion of images that I've worked
on and I'm now on a new machine, working on different stuff, and want
to add the new stuff to the repository, without having to wait while I
get all the enormous, many-hundreds-of-megabytes files that I won't
ever touch. Worse still, this new machine has very limited resources
and it simply won't handle a full checkout of the directory.

I understand the potential to want to add a file called foo.png when
there's already a foo.png in the repository, but I'd think the server
would complain if I tried to check that in.

Is this possible in Subversion?

Thanks,

Tacho

Are you using Subversion 1.5? If so, take a look at the
--depth=immediates option when you do a checkout. That will allow you
to checkout just the current directories (although this will checkout
the files in the current directory too).

Yes, that's perfect, thanks. My printed copy of the manual I use for
reference was for 1.4, so I guess it's time to upgrade that too. :)
