Selective co?

[Ross Boylan <Ro...@stanfordalumni.org>]

Is it possible to check out only some of the files in a directory?
E.g., I have a directory Data/ under version control, but I only want
some of the Data files.

svn co http://localhost/svn/Data/trunk/somefile
is an error.

I thought of using the global-ignores setting, but co seems to ignore
it.

I know I could create a directory in subversion with just the files I
wanted, but then I would have two locations with the same file: e.g.,
the repository would have Data/someFile and SmallData/someFile.  This
seems like asking for trouble.

'svn checkout' only works on directories, not single files.

(If you just want to grab a file, use 'svn cat')
