[jira] [Updated] (SVN-4753) SVN viewspec feature
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4753?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Julian Foad updated SVN-4753:
-----------------------------
Description:
A "view spec" feature has often been requested to control the "shape" of a checkout - for example, to selectively exclude and include subdirectories to make a sparse WC.
Several of the pieces needed now exist:
* experimental "svn info --viewspec" command outputs a view spec describing the current WC shape:
** [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201711.mbox/%3C006e01d3652a%240482f740%240d88e5c0%24%40qqmail.nl%3E]
* the old script [tools/client-side/svn-viewspec.py|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/svn-viewspec.py] takes a view spec as input and creates a checkout
** inefficient - it downloads everything first and then deletes the unwanted bits
* an ugly hack for doing a view spec checkout efficiently is described here:
