Follow-up Comment #1, patch #4429 (project freeciv):

Have you tried using git to get the source tree instead? Many projects find
that a git checkout (containing the entire history!) uses less disk space than
just a SVN checkout.

You could even git clone --depth $N git://nearby.example.org/freeciv.git (for
some small number N) if you really don't want the history. My clone of
git://repo.or.cz/freeciv.git is about 700MB, and goes to about 850MB when
built.

Or, if you really wanted a partial checkout, something like

git archive --remote=git://nearby.example.org/freeciv.git R2_4_17 common
include server configure.ac Makefile.am etc.

(BTW I use the git mirror at git://repo.or.cz/freeciv.git to keep up to
date.)

I'd like to strongly urge against strongly coupling the Freeciv workflow to
SVN in order to accommodate building on constrained environments. It reads a
bit like an "XY Problem" to me :-/
