SVN checkout ignore folder

Can I ignore a folder on svn checkout? I need to ignore DOCs folder on checkout at my build server.

edit: Ignore externals isn't an option. I have some externals that I need.

Solution

  • You can't directly ignore folders on a checkout, but you can use sparse checkouts in svn 1.5. For example:

    $ svn co http://subversion/project/trunk my_checkout --depth immediates

    This will check files and directories from your project trunk into 'my_checkout', but not recurse into those directories. Eg:

    $ cd my_checkout && ls
bar/ baz foo xyzzy/

    Then to get the contents of 'bar' down:

    $ cd bar && svn update --set-depth infinity
