I am playing sparse checkout feature of subversion. It is working great. It let me completely ignore the portion of the tree that unrelates to me.
I just have one thing unclear: 1)svn checkout https://xxxx/proj --depth empty In my local area, I will have a directory created with name "proj", since I didn't specify the destination name. The directory is completely empty. 2)cd into the proj directory, now is my confusion. I want the whole tree of proj in my local area. I tried this: svn update --depth infinity //it does not bring anything into my local area svn update --set-depth infinity //yes, it worked Reading "svn help update", I cannot figure out the difference. Thank you very much.
