java - Checking Out Directory / File with SVNKit

Question

I can't see on the wiki where checking out is documented. Ideally, I would like to check out a file "example/folder/file.xml", if not just the folder... and then when the application closes down or otherwise, be able to commit back in changes to this file. How do I do this?

As SVNKit developer, I would recommend you to prefer new API based on SvnOperationFactory. The old API (based on SVNClientManager) will be operational still but all new SVN features will come only to the new API.

final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new SvnOperationFactory();
try {
    final SvnCheckout checkout = svnOperationFactory.createCheckout();
    checkout.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromFile(workingCopyDirectory));
    checkout.setSource(SvnTarget.fromURL(url));
    //... other options
    checkout.run();
} finally {
    svnOperationFactory.dispose();
}
