Glenn October 13, , pm. Late to the party here… If I make a change to my working copy and I want to do a commit, do I have to tell the server what file to update implicitly? Milind June 22, , pm. SVN folder to my working copy? Balaji October 26, , am. Hi sasikala , It is a nice post and very useful to beginners. Aruljothi September 4, , am.
Thanks lot for sharing nice tuts about svn commands in depth information…. I have been trying to install svn on my centos 6. Anh Tran February 9, , am. Zulfikar Ahmed October 22, , am. This folder is really big and has ton of other stuff which I don't need now. But that might not be what you want. You might want to work on the file and check it back in, without having to download GB of junk you don't need.
Check out that directory and do your modifications. I'm not sure whether you can then merge your modified copy back entirely in the repository without a working copy of the target - I've never needed to.
If so then do that. If not then unfortunately you may have to find someone else who does have the whole directory checked out and get them to do it. Or maybe by the time you've made your modifications, the rest of it will have finished downloading The reason for the limitation is that checkout creates a working copy, that contains meta-information about repository, revision, attributes, etc.
That metadata is stored in subdirectories named '. And single files don't have subdirectories. For that, you don't need to fetch the working directory, but you will not be able to commit any changes you make. If you need to make changes and commit them, you need a working directory, but you don't have to fetch it completely.
You should read this. Tip: If your working copy is out of date or you have local modifications and you want to see the HEAD revision of a file in your working copy, svn cat will automatically fetch the HEAD revision when you give it a path:.
A TortoiseSVN equivalent solution of the accepted answer I had written this in an internal document for my company as we are newly adopting SVN follows. I thought it would be helpful to share here as well:.
Checking out a single file: Subversion does not support checkout of a single file, it only supports checkout of directory structures. This is not supported currently v1. Alternate recommended strategy: You will have to do the checkout directory part only once, following that you can directly go and checkout your single files. Do a sparse checkout of the parent folder and directory structure.
A sparse checkout is basically checking out only the folder structure without populating the content files. So you checkout only the directory structures and need not checkout ALL the files as was the concern.
Step 2 : Right click the parent folder within the repository containing all the files that you wish to work on and Select Checkout. Step 3 : Within new popup window, ensure that the checkout directory points to the correct location on your local PC.
Second option is recommended as, if you want to work on nested folder, you can directly proceed the next time otherwise you will have to follow this whole procedure again for the nested folder. The single file can now be worked on and checked back into the repository. An update in case what you really need can be covered by having the file included in a checkout of another folder. Since SVN 1.
It means that you can have another versioned folder that includes a single file. Committing changes to the file in a checkout of this folder is also possible. It's very simple, checkout the folder you want to include the file, and simply add a property to the folder. After you commit this, the file will appear in future checkouts of the folder.
Basically it works, but there are some limitations as described in the documentation linked above. Steve Jessop's answer did not work for me. I read the help files for SVN and if you just have an image you probably don't want to check it in again unless you're doing Photoshop, so export is a better command than checkout as it's unversioned but that is minor. And the --depth ARG should not be empty but files to get the files in the immediate directory.
So you'll get all the fields, not just the one, but empty returns nothing from the repository. As for the other answers, cat lets you read the content which is good only for text, not images of all things.
I'd just browse it and export the single file. However, I wanted to highlight the idea, to get a discussion going. We could optimize the changes as we discuss here. This is a relatively simple proposal, and I would like all of you to participate.
Thanks all in advance! It's very simple, checkout the folder you want to include the file, and simply add a property to the folder svn propedit svn:externals.

With svn export , there's no need to do this, just specify the file.

Ted Ted I wanted to checkout a single file to a directory, which was not part of a working copy. Then you just need to: cp. Isn't this what sparse checkout does? You really shouldn't be hacking on the files in the. Perhaps but it solved the problem properly. I suppose that, it's the way version management should work, also being abble to handle files as extension of directories.
Try it and tell me whats wrong with the logic. Iwould suggest the subversion development team to extend the svn utility with this feature, it would solve the problems of all guy who answered this thread. LachoTomov LachoTomov 2, 27 27 silver badges 36 36 bronze badges.
The OP asked about svn co of one file to avoid an entire directory full of image files. Also, adding a symlink can only add to the complexity, moving from a temp directory could work, but you still have to check out the entire directory of pictures for just one image. ChrisMarotta the OP asked the question 9 years ago. Nobody here is answering the OP. This is a general topic for this kind of problem, and it has nothing to do with the original OP anymore. People are coming here to find a solution for their own problem.
And when they read it, some of them will be in my situation where this was the only proper solution. That's why I posted it. I am happy for this answer, it helped me — Leos Literak. This way you can also select desired revision and download an older version of the file. Note that this is valid if your SVN server has a web interface.
