[svk-users] update directory without checking out all new subdirs?

[Derek Atkins]

Hey all,

I've got SVK mirroring a fairly deep and wide SVN tree.  Let's
say that it's huge, so I don't have the whole thing pulled out
into my WC.  So for example:

  cd TOPDIR
  svk co -N /path/to/some/dir
  cd dir
  svk ls
    subdir
  svk revert subdir
  cd subdir
  svk revert -R subsubdir

This works great, until I find out that someone added a new
subdir of 'dir' that I need.  Actually, a dozen people added
new subdirs of 'dir', but I only want one of them.  So if I
do:

  svn ls svn+ssh://URL/to/some/dir

I get:

  subdir
  foo
  bar
  baz
  quux
  red
  blue
  green

I know that I need 'foo' but I don't want anything else in my WC.  So
I svk sync the repository down to my copy, but if I 'svk ls
TOPDIR/dir' it still only lists "subdir".

So how do I update "TOPDIR/dir" so that I can then "svk revert -R foo"?

If I just run "svk update" from TOPDIR/dir then it will checkout ALL
the new directories.

If I run "svk -N update" it gives me an error that that isn't supported.

If I run "svk revert" from TOPDIR/dir it doesn't appear to do anything.

The only way I could figure out how to do it is to delete the checkout
and start over again, but that's not a viable long-term solution.

So, how do I do what I want?

This is SVK 2.0.2
