How to checkout few files and folders alone without checking out entire source.

Question

In my project I have many folders. I certainly know I want have changes in only few files (around 15) each of them are in 7 different folders. Also, I don't want to checkout the entire source to accomplish it. Is it possible to checkout only the required folders alone?

I'll have this scenario too often for different sources. Is it possible to checkout only selected folders at one shot?

Edit

Say for example I have a source folder contains. 5 sub-folders. Like,

source

-- Core

-- Helper

-- Extensions

-- Themes

-- Resources

And, I want to check-out Extensions and Themes folders alone. But, I don't want to check-out each of the folders separately. I want it like, I'll give the check-out location as svn.svnhost.com/trunk/project1/source. [Then, I'll select Extensions and Themes give a single check-out]

Expected Checkout:

source

-- Extensions

-- Themes

Some thing like:

svn co svn.svnhost.com/trunk/project1/source --foldernames Extensions, Themes

Answer 1

In the Tortoise navigator (right click) navigate to a specific folder and perform checkout against the location

Answer 2

Yes, See if you have an Repository address like:

https://elastik.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/elastik/

Simply add the folder you want on to the end. So if I only want the "trunk/includes" folder:

https://elastik.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/elastik/trunk/includes
