if i checkout following modules webmodule/trunk, core/trunk, webac/trunk in the folder c:/MyFolder it wouldn't work, since the svn client would checkout the trunk into c:/MyFolder/trunk. When I used checked this out with cvs, it would check this out in c:/MyFolder/webmodule/trunk.... I suggest that, when multiple projects or branches or tags are being choosen that the files are being checked out into local folder/relative svn path. Eg C:/MyFodler/webmodule/trunk... rather than C:/MyFodler/trunk. It makes no sense to checkout multiple projects via SVN into the same local folder, since they all belong to different projects.
I just realized it does not make sense to checkout into a trunk or branch folder. It would make more sense to just checkout into the project folder. So, if I choose multiple projects to checkout out, eg. webac-commons/trunk, webac-base/trunk, webac-base-tags/trunk, then nb should check this out into webac-commons, webac-base, webac-base-tags.
i think i understand your point, but unfortunately there seems to be something more to it as there may be different repository layouts - see also http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout. so let's suppose we have something like trunk/webmodule trunk/core trunk/webac how do we know what segment from the paths name is supposed to be the folders name on the client? i'm afraid this isn't something we could solve by some kind of implicit logic. maybe we should reconsider the dialogs behavior, so that there would be a way to switch between the both recommended repository layouts in case of a multiple folder checkout. Something like the "Skip [folder] and checkout ..." checkbox Josef - any ideas?
why don't you just add an additional step showing in a table the source svn folder in one row and target local folders in the other row webac/trunc/ ..../projects/webac webac-processes/branch/BV_1_2 ..../projects/webac-processes . . This way you could still quickly change the target folders before checking them out
we shall invest more time into a smarter checkout wizard changing to enhancement as this is WAD for now
7 Years later... Was this feature ever implemented? I am checking out netbeans for the first time in many years, and this the main thing that would prevent me from moving forward with it.
