Or do an "immediates" on phpdoc. Like this: svn co http://svn.php.net/repository --depth empty src svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc --depth immediates src/phpdoc Now you have src/phpdoc with directories for all the languages. But they haven't been populated yet. cd src/phpdoc svn up * --set-depth immediates Now you have dirs under each language for trunk and all branches/tags but still not populated svn up */trunk --set-depth infinity And now you should have trunk for all languages. But yes, with this approach you have a trunk directory in your path. It is one of these things we probably should just get used to with svn and I think it is probably a good idea to stay close to the actual directory structure of the repository. You could of course create a directory with symlinks to hide that a bit. > - I assume we'd remove our svn:externals while recommending this? If a svn commit */trunk or something along those lines actually works with the svn:externals, perhaps it is ok. We don't add languages that often, so keeping it up to date isn't a big deal in this case. -Rasmus
