The need for Subversion command line options.

• • • Issue 3956 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

It would also be handy to be able to set the --depth parameter. I have a very
large M2 project of common utilities across my organization. Very few of these
modules are related to each other in any way, and so I have split the entire
project into one Hudson job for each Maven module; unfortunately, without having
access to svn --depth= argument, a change in any module triggers the top level
pom job to run, which dominoes 40-50 other jobs.

PLEASE expose subversion CLI arguments at Hudson and per-job levels. THANKS!

I second the call for access to the --depth parameter. In my case I need to get a top-level directory with --depth=files, and then get two subdirectories of that top-level directory.

Actually, I need only one file from that top-level directory, but putting it down as a repository URL yields this error:

ERROR: Failed to check out http://server/blah/blah/somefile
org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: URL 'http://server/blah/blah/somefile' refers to a file, not a directory

I looked at the source and it seems like the "depth" parameter has been hardwired to INFINITY.

I would also find the --depth option to be useful.

Also agreed... --depth and the ability to subsequently perform sparse checkouts from a large SVN repository are something we desperately need to improve our overall build performance.

Implemented.

Added screenshot with updated UI.

I've tried installing this hpi

http://hudson-ci.org/hudson/job/subversion-plugin/5/artifact/target/subversion.hpi

Using Manage plugins advanced tab upload plugin on a latest 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT build and I don't see the combo boxes from the screeenshot after a restart when creating a new free style job

I've realised my mistake the core is currently fixed to version 1.20 of subversion, once I upgraded to 1.23 the hpi installed OK.

The new options worked fine but I lost all my old subversion jobs created using 1.20 in the upgrade process. This isn't good so I'm re-opening the issue so this can be looked at.

New features work fine but the upgrade from Subversion plugin 1.20 caused my jobs to disappear.

This is the exception
