Ryan Daum commented on SCM-39: ------------------------------ If I understand what is being said here correctly, some SCM systems (bazaar, mercurial) will not be able to implement this functionality -- they do not have a way of checking out only pieces of a given repository. > Ability to checkout/update selective modules under root > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-39 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-39 > Project: Maven SCM > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: maven-scm-api > Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-1 > Environment: XP, maven 1.0.2 > Reporter: Dan Tran > Fix For: future > > > Legacy applications contain lots of unwanted source under SCM root. > Politically, it is impossible to remove them out of system. > And therefore, checkout and update operations can be very slow. > Suggest to add "includes "excludes" to checkout/update > command interfaces to only checkout/update wanted modules/directories > under SCM root. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
