In case of a sparse checkout (i.e. not fully recursive), externals are omitted |
In case of large repositories, which is often the case with data repositories such as openearthrawdata, it is recommended to create a sparse checkout. This allows you to maintain the directory structure identical to the repository itself, but only get the data for specific parts that are of interest for you. In order to create a sparse checkout, you use the same menu of TortoiseSVN you would use for an usual (fully recursive) checkout; the only difference is the checkout depth:
The options for the checkout depth are:
svn checkout --username=USERNAME --depth infinity https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/ openearthtools |
svn checkout --username=USERNAME --depth immediates https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/ openearthtools |
svn checkout --username=USERNAME --depth files https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/ openearthtools |
svn checkout --username=USERNAME --depth empty https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/ openearthtools |
