I don't mean to be dense, but I'll need a working example. svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gcc/trunk -N This checks out the files in the toplevel directory. svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gcc/trunk/libada trunk/libada -N This checks out the files in trunk/libada and places them in trunk/libada. cd trunk rm libada/ChangeLog svn update This does not retrieve/restore the deleted file. This means that to construct the gcc directory hierarchy without libada, one needs to know all the subdirectories of trunk/ and grab those individually. Then one can't do a global update from trunk/. You have to go into each subdirectory to do the update. Isn't there a mechanism similar to .cvsignore where one can put *libada* to ignore libada? svn has a svn:ignore, but I have been unsuccessful in my attempts at using it. -- Steve
