[jbosstools-dev] A tip: How to speed up SVN updates

Hi All, If you, like me, are annoyed by looooong time of trunk updates, there is a SVN feature to skip directories you do not use. This feature is called 'Sparse Directories<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.sparse... '. For example, to delete directory 'documentation' from your local copy of trunk permanently, use the following command: *svn update --set-depth empty documentation* After this command, the documentation directory will be skipped during further updates and switches. (To restore it back, use *--set-depth infinity *). Windows users may use the following batch-script to delete all documentationand *\docs directories at once (just save as deletedocs.bat and run from trunk directory): @echo DELETING OF documentation... svn update --set-depth empty documentation @echo DELETING OF *\docs: @FOR /f %%d IN ('dir /b /a:d') DO ( @IF EXIST %%d\docs\.svn ( @echo DELETING OF %%d\docs... svn update --set-depth empty %%d\docs ) ) Best Regards, Yahor Radtsevich
