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'.
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 documentation
and *\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
)
)
