Here's a quick unix script "svnco" I wrote which you could use instead of "svn co" to do this. There's no error checking, no handling of special characters (i.e. those that would be percent-encoded in URLs), and maybe other issues, but it shows how it can be done. $ cat /path/to/svnco #!/bin/bash URL="$1" MKDIR=mkdir SED=sed SVN=svn REPO_ROOT=$($SVN info "$URL" | $SED -n "s|^Repository Root: ||p") PATH_IN_REPO=$(echo "$URL" | $SED "s|^$REPO_ROOT/||") $MKDIR -p "$PATH_IN_REPO" $SVN co "$URL" "$PATH_IN_REPO" $ mkdir test $ cd test $ /path/to/svnco http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/subversion A trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files A trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/patch-path.c.diff A trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/patch-Makefile.in.diff A trunk/dports/devel/subversion/Portfile Checked out revision 66676. $ find . . ./trunk ./trunk/dports ./trunk/dports/devel ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/all-wcprops ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/entries ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/prop-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/prop-base/Portfile.svn-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/props ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/text-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/text-base/Portfile.svn-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/tmp ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/tmp/prop-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/tmp/props ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/.svn/tmp/text-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/all-wcprops ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/entries ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/prop-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/props ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/text-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/text-base/patch-Makefile.in.diff.svn-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/text-base/patch-path.c.diff.svn-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/tmp ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/tmp/prop-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/tmp/props ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/.svn/tmp/text-base ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/patch-Makefile.in.diff ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/files/patch-path.c.diff ./trunk/dports/devel/subversion/Portfile $
