I am talking about checking out a single project, however the "projects" all
use the same folders, like shared folders. So when you do a get on the top
level, you get all the files for every project rather than just the files for
the project of interest

Let me get this straight, you're not talking about checking out a single
project vs. the whole tree. You're talking about checking out a project, but
not the externals directories? You can take a look at several things: * There's
an --ignore-externals flag when you do a checkout. This prevents any externals
directory from being checked out. * Take a look at the --depth switch. You can
checkout a directory, without checking out the sub-directories, then just
update the subdirectories you want. (Note: There's a --set-depth flag on the
update command to override the setting on the checkout command. (See
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#sparse-checkouts for
more information on the depth switch.) On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 1:07 PM, Paul
