Suppose you have a subversion repository with a directory /trunk/huge that is huge (thousands of files > 1G) and doesn't change very often. You check it out sparsely avoiding /trunk/huge, e.g. svn co --depth immediates ^/trunk trunk for f in trunk/*; do if [ "$f" != "trunk/huge" ]; then svn up --set-depth infinity $f; fi;...

That you have to have a fully recursive checkout in order to merge ...
