Not much: a Subversion repository on a server does not have an open
checkout attached to it at all.  So could you please describe in more
details what you're trying to achieve?

So far it seems you want to somehow automagically update certain open
checkout of a Fossil repository after you push new changes to a
specific branch in that repository.  Is this true?

Then how precisely this is implemented in your Subversion setup?
I, for one, cannot really imagine this.

Note that a Fossil repository can have any number of open checkouts
active at the same time, all of them independent from each other.
This should hint you at that Fossil kind of work "backwards" here: open
checkouts refer to the repository, not the other way round.
