> Don't check out entire SVN directory where only a few files are needed

> Key: WHIMSY-304
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-304
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> There are some individual files that Whimsy uses, e.g. apmail/bin/.archives
> However the entire directory is checked out.
> This seems unnecessary.
> svn update can equally be used to update just a few files.
> If the directory is checked out as empty, the required files can be added
> using
> 'svn update files...'
> Subsequent 'svn update' ccommands will update the files that are present.
> The 'rake svn:update' task can be updated to support a list of files defined
> in repository.yml
> Note that at present, the depth is only used when the initial checkout is
> made.
> Subsequent changes do not affect the checkout (except for depth==delete).
> This has the advantage that testers can checkout an empty directory and be
> assured that it won't be replaced by the next run of the update task.
> The proposed process is:
> If the checkout depth in the yml file is empty, but the current checkout is
> not empty, then:
> svn update --set-depth empty
> The list of files can then be checked out using
> svn update files...
> This should minimise the downtime, and allow a live system to be migrated.
