Tortoise verses RosBE ssvn question.

Post by oldman »

I am curious to know why, if you checkout a source folder with Tortoise, then the folder structure is:
documentation.
reactos.
rosapps.
rossubsys.
rostests.
wallpaper.

(the above are all folders).

But if you do a ssvn create with RosBE, then you populate the source folder with the contents of the reactos folder.

Does Tortoise down load more than is necessary?

They may help you with a problem, so do have a look at them.

That's just about a question of configuration.
The RosBE ssvn command calls the SVN command-line tool to check-out only the svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/reactos/ sub-repository (using either svn:// or https:// protocol, whichever actually works with the cmdline).
TortoiseSVN on the contrary checks-out what you specify to it. If you asked it to check-out svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/reactos/ then it would have downloaded only the same stuff as the RosBE ssvn command would have done. But if you ask TSVN (or SVN cmdline tool) to check-out the full svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/ repository, when you get all the other stuff. Note that you can see its presence using the repo browser at: https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/ (and you can browse even upper-level directories).
