You cannot check out an individual file. You can update specific files to a particular revision with svn update --revision num FILE You can export an individiual file at a particular revision with the same syntax as update (just swap in export instead). The output of svn help command can be very informative. -Original Message- From: Andy Levy [mailto:andy.l...@gmail.com] Sent: mercoledì 20 ottobre 2010 15.25 To: Andrea Antonio Maleci Cc: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Re: can I checkout only a revision files ?

A revision number identifies a state of the complete repository and includes all files / folders / metadata etc. So, are you asking for only the files changed from the previous revision?

You can use the -r parameter on a checkout or update to specify the revision. You cannot checkout a single file, but you can checkout the directory it is in with no files and then update just that one file: $ # Checks out the directory, but with no files $ svn co -r $rev --depth empty http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir $ # Now update the file you want $ cd localdir $ svn update myfile Or, you can checkout just a directory, but without the subdirectories: $svn co -r $rev --depth files http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com

Yes, use the --revision option for svn co.

Right,
As others have said, you cannot 'svn co' files,
you can only checkout directories.
The ability to export files exists, but to export
only modified files is not built in, either.
I've been trying to learn Bash scripting better
and wrote the following.
If you're on Windows, install Cygwin.
It may not be exactly what you
want, because it exports the files
instead of checking them out.
You have to do something like...
svn log --verbose -r 2345 | grep M files.txt
...then something like... (vi svncomod.sh)
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
REPO=$2
while read line
do
for ARG in $line; do
F=${ARG}
if [ $F != M ]
then
echo ${REPO}${F}
svn export ${REPO}${F}
fi
done
done ${FILE}
... then...
chmod +x svncomod.sh
...and finally...
svncomod.sh files.txt http://path-to/repo

My NAnt build scripts have a task that will create a delta of the changed deployables to create a hotfix for example. Just pulling out the changed stuff from svn wouldn't work anyway... since new binaries need to be built most of the time. BOb
