Yes, you are correct. This is a known issue: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3311 (externals are not created unless depth=infinity). > Is there any way to perform an --empty (or --files) checkout of a path and > subsequently pull in the externals without having to pull in everything else > as well? I'm not aware of a way to do this, sorry. Unless the above issue is addressed. Maybe you can workaround it by putting all the externals in a specific subdirectory that you can then selectively update to infinity? -- Johan
