Why aren't you just using straight 'svn' commands? After your initial 'svn co', all you have to do is 'svn up' --- which will actually have the potential to use far less bandwidth (primarily in upstream for you) than an rsync. And don't worry, that'll be read-only. ;-P > Thanks! You are most undoubtedly welcome (even if you didn't get the answer for which you were hoping). It never hurts to ask. -- </Daniel P.
