My suggestion for implementing this would be: - try to have a consistent API cross-VCS (after all this is what debcheckout is about) - IF the given VCS has support for single file checkout (e.g. svn) checkout the single file - ELSE checkout in a `mktemp -d` and copy the file in the expected directory Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
