Also interesting in this context: in svn <= 1.6 one can only make things sparse with directory granularity (i.e. you have to include/exclude entire directories, you cannot do this with individual files). In the upcoming 1.7 version, I believe it will be possible to exclude individual files. I'm not sure this will help you accomplish what you want, but somehow it sounds relevant :-). -- Johan
