'svn checkout depth

I have an SVN project with tree like this:

/project
    /dir1
        /subdir1
           -file1
           -file2
            .....
        -file1
        -file2
        .....
    /dir2
        -file1
        -file2
        .....
    /dir3
        /subdir1
           -file1
           -file2
            .....
        /subdir2
           -file1
           -file2
            .....
        /subdir3
           -file1
           -file2
            .....
        /subdir4
           -file1
           -file2
            .....
    /dir4
        -file1
        -file2
        .....
-file1
-file2

I need to checkout

  • all files from /project
  • full /dir1
  • full /dir2
  • full /dir4
  • From /dir3 I need only /subdir1 and /subdir3

Can I checkout these files/folders using svn commandline with some kind of depth? If so how can I do it? Can I add subdir2 to dir3 after a checkout? How can I update working copy created this way? Will normal "svn up" command update only these folders or full update of project will be performed?



Solution 1:[1]

  1. svn up --set-depth empty file/folder path
  • => it will delete the file from your system**
  1. svn up --set-depth infinity file/folder path
  • => it will regenerated the file from svn server to your local system**
