Except it is still too inconvenient to use for most cases (yeah I was going to suggest it too): "Subversion 1.5's implementation of shallow checkouts is good but does not support a couple of interesting behaviors. First, you cannot de-telescope a working copy item. Running svn update --set-depth empty in an infinite-depth working copy will not have the effect of discarding everything but the topmost directory—it will simply error out. Second, there is no depth value to indicate that you wish an item to be explicitly excluded. You have to do implicit exclusion of an item by including everything else." -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
