[Fwd: Re: Avoid pristine copies]

[Paul DeMarco <pa...@pauldemarco.com>]

 You could always use export, but that doesn't allow updates, or 
additional exports, have to remove the folder and export again.  So that 
may be an option, if your not changing the source, if the working copy 
is very large the following may also be an option:

have a svn wc on a server somewhere, run updates or switches, which are 
both efficient, so that it looks like how you want the clients to have.

then if they are nix clients, run an rsync (with a pattern to ignore the 
.svn folders), between the server wc and the client copy, it will at 
least be fast. 

could probably get a windows port of rsync as well, i dunno if that 
exists (could always do it under cygwin, but thats probably un-needed 
deployment complexity).

This rsync client ships with some cygwin dlls, but doesn't require a
working cygwin installation <URL:http://footboot.net/rsync-win/>.
