Hi, The svn command line list command currently accepts --depth arguments of files, infinity, and immediates (and empty, but that is really a no-op). I'm in need of being able to list directory entries only in a repository, but I'm not sure there is any good way to accomplish that as-is. I've search the lists and can only find articles about how folks have grep'ed the output or hacked list.c to only return directory entries (which is really just an inelegant grep anyways since the server still will be sending the data).
Is there a way, or consideration from the developers to add a feature, to fetch only directory entries from a repo? Perhaps a --depth dirs (opposite of --depth files) option. If there is no off the shelf way and/or the developers are against (or don't see enough need) to implement this, would there be any advise on how to accomplish this with a patch? Is there in inherent limitation to the server protocol that makes a request like this simply unworkable? Thanks in advance, Dan
