Hey,
I have a subversion tree that has several sub-folders (buried deep in
the tree) that contain large amounts of media files... mp3, m4v, ....
What I am trying to do is to checkout "smaller" versions of my
repository by setting those media folders to be --depth empty.
I have been experimenting with --set-depth immediates and such.
What I am running into, is that there is no easy way to checkout the
repository without downloading everything. It is quite a pain to
checkout the repository as depth empty and then try to get it back to
depth infinity.
/ (infinity)
/a (infinity)
/b (infinity)
*/b/media (empty)*
/b/regular (infinity)
/b/regular/files (infinity)
/b/regular/files/here (infinity)
/c (infinity)
/d (infinity)
*/d/media (empty)*
How can i checkout out this sample repository without downloading the
/b/media/ and /d/media folders?
The example i have (with checking it all out first is):
svn checkout '<repository>' --depth immediates
svn update --set-depth exclude /b/media
svn update --set-depth exclude /d/media
svn update --set-depth infinity *
Perhaps I am confused, but wouldn't that last depth infinity reset the
depth exclude from the previous lines?
Thank you for your help,
