I seem to be able to do similar using eclipse.
That's certainly possible, but it would be highly inadvisable. The problem is that using the URL you mentioned would get all trunks, tags and branches for all components, which will probably run you out of disk space. ;-) What you really want to be able to do is: svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/*/trunk which would be the equivalent of what we do with CVS today when checking out HEAD of jakarta-commons. > In my opinion, its seems we are working on repository structuring of > modules for managing versioning/taging, not what the user experiences > when doing a checkout? I think we're trying to find a compromise that satisfies both. As long as someone can come up with a way to do the equivalent of the '*' URL I mentioned above, I'd be happy with A + that script / tool / method. -- Martin Cooper > -Mark > > -- > Mark Diggory > Software Developer > Harvard MIT Data Center > http://www.hmdc.harvard.edu > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
