Summary: SVN viewspec feature
Key: SVN-4753
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4753
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Julian Foad
A "view spec" feature has often been requested to control the "shape" of a
checkout - for example, to selectively exclude and include subdirectories to
make a sparse WC.
Several of the pieces needed now exist:
* experimental "svn info --viewspec" command outputs a view spec describing
the current WC shape
* the old script "tools/client-side/svn-viewspec.py" takes a view spec as
input and creates a checkout
** inefficient - it downloads everything first and then deletes the unwanted
bits
* an ugly hack for doing a view spec checkout efficiently is described here:
