This is the inverse of the svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/emptydir > idea (see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnSetup "Optimize disk usage"). You know, I think we can do this even without having to butcher the layout of the repository. Check out a directory containing just the script, and have it use "svn switch -N" at the end to pick up the top level files. I'm going to experiment. I have a handy repository to work with :-) (We import CVS snapshots into svn.) -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
