Julian Foad updated SVN-4753:
-----------------------------
Description:
A "view spec" feature has often been requested to control the "shape" of a
checkout - for example, to selectively exclude and include subdirectories to
make a sparse WC.
Several of the pieces needed now exist:
* experimental "svn info --viewspec" command outputs a view spec describing
the current WC shape:

* the old script
[tools/client-side/svn-viewspec.py|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/svn-viewspec.py]
takes a view spec as input and creates a checkout
** inefficient - it downloads everything first and then deletes the unwanted
bits
* an ugly hack for doing a view spec checkout efficiently is described here:
