I believe they corrected this behaviour in recent versions. A few others noticed the fact that svn_load_dirs would check out everything below the first parameter in the repository too. There was some discussion about this on their dev list: http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2003-07/2043.shtml The issue opened for it was: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1455 Which appears to have been included in the 0.27 release. -- Jamin W.
