I am using Tortoise SVN and having SVN service from Assembla. Until today, I worked alone in a project but now I need to get help from some other developers but I don't want them to be able to download all part of my source code. Is it possible to prevent them from checking out whole code? Is there a mechanism for them to download only binaries, not source codes?
Only talking abt SVN here -- one way of doing this is by using "SVN external", and you may want different files or subdirectories to come from different locations in a repository, or perhaps from different repositories altogether.
