Class SvnCheckout

Represents checkout operation. Checks out a working copy of source at revision, looked up at SvnTarget.getPegRevision(), using target as the root directory of the newly checked out working copy.

If source SvnTarget.getPegRevision()> is SVNRevision.UNDEFINED or invalid, then it defaults to SVNRevision.HEAD.

If depth is SVNDepth.INFINITY, checks out fully recursively. Else if it is SVNDepth.IMMEDIATES, checks out source target and its immediate entries (subdirectories will be present, but will be at depth SVNDepth.EMPTY themselves); else SVNDepth.FILES, checks out source target and its file entries, but no subdirectories; else if SVNDepth.EMPTY, checks out source target as an empty directory at that depth, with no entries present.

If depth is SVNDepth.UNKNOWN, then behave as if for SVNDepth.INFINITY, except in the case of resuming a previous checkout of target (i.e., updating), in which case uses the depth of the existing working copy.

If externals are ignored (ignoreExternals is true), doesn't process externals definitions as part of this operation.

If isAllowUnversionedObstructions is true then the checkout tolerates existing unversioned items that obstruct added paths from source target. Only obstructions of the same type (file or directory) as the added item are tolerated. The text of obstructing files is left as-is, effectively treating it as a user modification after the checkout. Working properties of obstructing items are set equal to the base properties. If isAllowUnversionedObstructions is false then the checkout will abort if there are any unversioned obstructing items.

If the caller's ISVNEventHandler is non-null, it is invoked as the checkout processes. Also ISVNCanceller.checkCancelled() will be used at various places during the checkout to check whether the caller wants to stop the checkout.

This operation requires repository access (in case the repository is not on the same machine, network connection is established).

SvnOperation.run() method returns value of the revision actually checked out from the repository.

SvnOperation.run() throws SVNException in the following cases:

• exception with SVNErrorCode.UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE error code - if target's URL refers to a file rather than a directory
• exception with SVNErrorCode.RA_ILLEGAL_URL error code - if target's URL does not exist, or if external item at the revision doesn't exist, or if external item at the revision is not file or a directory
• exception with SVNErrorCode.WC_OBSTRUCTED_UPDATE error code - if the working copy item is already a working copy item for a different URL
• exception with SVNErrorCode.WC_NODE_KIND_CHANGE error code - if local file is already exists with the same name that incoming added directory
• exception with SVNErrorCode.ENTRY_MISSING_URL error code - if working copy item that has no URL
