I think this limitation sucks, personally. Spare directories are much nicer since you can have commits that span these directories. Like for adding entities or fixing an example in multiple translations. eg. svn co http://svn.php.net/repository --depth empty src svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk --depth infinity src To add another translation: cd ~ svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/de/trunk --depth infinity src You can pick and choose parts of the tree this way. You can also check out a directory using "--depth immediates" and just get a list of the directories there that way. Like a list of all the tags or branches. You can then cd into any of these and expand them with: svn up --set-depth infinity -Rasmus
