Hello Nathan! Thank you very much for the quick and very valuable answer. I had searched the internet for ‚server-excluded‘ before and often ended up somewhere in the subversion source code, where ‚authz‘ is mentioned, so your hint encourages me, that some kind of selective permissions for the omitted dirs and files in the repository are the key for understanding the effect. Subversion in our environment is hosted on a Linux system with apache web server; the clients are all TortoiseSVN on Windows servers, target directories for the working copies are administrative shares on those servers. In one of our experiments we had the - for us - strange effect that for one target directory on one server all files and dirs were checked out, for another target directory on another server always the same files and dirs were omitted. That is:
//winserver1/adminshare1$/targetdir1/ gets all dirs and files. //winserver2/adminshare2$/targetdir2/ does NOT get all dirs and files. I have to mention that I am NOT the user that performs all the tortoiseSVN actions in our trials and I have no relevant experience with SVN, I am just part of the team that ponders about this problem that drives us crazy. To cut a long story short, thank you very much again, I will encourage our team members to pursue this path.
