Multiple Directory Checkout
Mr. Smith
directories by doing the following:
In the repo browser, select all the folders you want (hold down Ctrl key
while clicking on the items). Then right-click, choose "checkout".
I am not able to do this anymore in the new version (1.6).
I know this has been brought up before, but can't I have a folder with
multiple checkouts at different directories of the same repo? I don't
want to have to checkout each one separately. It would be really
helpful if i didn't have to update each separately and could just svn
update on the top folder that contains all the separate checkouts.
So basically what I am looking to do is have a folder on a
production/test computer with one folder (for the brand) that has
checkouts for the various programs (obviously in different folders in
the repo). Then when it is time to test or deploy, all that is needed
in one update.
Here is repo:
/company
/company/product
/company/product/program1/release
/company/product/program2/release
and I want a checkout with:
/company/program1 (which points to /company/product/program1/release)
/company/program2 (which points to /company/product/program2/release)
Is there another way to achieve this without manual checkouts? Is
there a way to update all checkouts (program1, program2) just from the
company folder?
Thanks-

The easiest way to do that would be with svn:externals. Create a local
repo with a folder called Company and checkout Company (empty folder).
Now set svn:externals properties on that folder:
http://domain.com/svn/company/product/program1/release program1
http://domain.com/svn/company/product/program2/release program2
That should do exactly what you want. Updating the local repo's
Company folder will pull in the release directory from the live repo
to a folder name of your choosing.

Mr. Smith
setting:
1-The user has to manually setup each external. It would be much
faster and accurate with the control click in repo method.
2-The company folder now has these external links associated with it
on the client. It'll change icon and look like it needs to be commit
right? If a user needs to commit a file (lets say a settings file)
they have to remember to uncheck the company folder or the externals
will be commited.
While externals 'could' work, it seems kinda hacky as it is not mean't
for this. I guess there is no way to just cherry pick checkout
directories? Seems like it should be in there and needed right?
I'm still a bit curious why this feature (ctrl+click on repo) worked
in the past and not in the newer version?

In principle you could checkout multiple items in one hit - not sure
why this is no longer available - but the directory they are checked
out into would be unversioned, so there is no way to use Update on it.
You would have to select all the versioned subdirectories and Update.

What would they need to commit? The Company folder in this case is
only there as a placeholder to hold the externals. There is nothing to
change.

svn co /company/product ./company
This will make the 'company' folder a working copy of the /company/product folder. This does make it slightly less obvious as to where 'company' is checked out from.
Unfortunately, because /program1 and /program2 are not direct children of the /company directory, I don't think sparse checkouts are an option (although I could be wrong).
Cheers,
