Can you still update via SVN with just a "partial" ? The problem I'm having is obviously if I modify it in any way it alerts me via icon and when/if I update it the "extra" goes right back in the folder and messes it all up again.
I guess worst case I can just set it up properly and deal without the SVN context menu/update feature.
Thx for listening to the QQ
When you checkout any SVN repo with TortoisSVN (But for the sake of this topic we use TidyBags as repo

) you can select the repository URL, the Checkout directory and Checkout Depth together with revisions.
Textual explanation (should be enough to get it):
Right click the folder you created for the TidyBags plugin > Select 'SVN Checkout'
A 'Checkout' window will appear where you can select some options.
On the right side of the 'URL of repository' you see a button with 3 dots, press it.
Now a additional screen called 'Repository Browser' opens up.
In this screen browse to the actual Tidybags SVN repository folder or file (whichever you prefer).
If you want to checkout the folder beyond the /trunk/ you end up with this url:
Code:
https://github.com/LiquidAtoR/TidyBags/trunk/Tidybags
If you want to checkout only the TidyBags.cs file you end up with this url:
Code:
https://github.com/LiquidAtoR/TidyBags/trunk/Tidybags/TidyBags.cs
Select which one you prefer and press Ok, the screen closes.
Back in the 'Checkout' screen you do the same for the Checkout directory (which is on your PC).
Browse to the appropriate folder and press Ok, the screen closes.
Back on the 'Checkout screen there's a dropdown for 'Checkout Dept' under the directory URL's.
Here you can select in what fashion to checkout.
Generally we use Fully recursive here (standard option if you checkout the folder), but if you only want to checkout TidyBags then select the last option in the dropdown called 'Only this Item'.
From here on you can press the 'Choose Items...' button to open the 'Repository Browser' to check that you are only checking out TidyBags and nothing else.
If that all is fine, then press Ok, and you are back to the 'Checkout' screen
When all the settings are to your liking, press Ok and voila, only TidyBags from the SVN, no trash
This only checks out TidyBags, and leaves the rest untouched on the SVN.
