jamesmintram Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have a very large repo and I only wish to access a single folder in the repository. In something like perforce - I can select the folder in the Depot and do an "Update to version" - which syncs only that folder to the version I have selected. How do I do this in Plastic SCM? The repository already exists and it is not possible to checkout the whole repository on the machine in question. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi James, as you may know Plastic SCM is changeset oriented, that means when you update your workspace you are updating your complete configuration to load the new changeset content. It's not possible to update a single directory unless you: * Cloak everything except that certain directory: cloaked.conf / https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/gui/plastic-scm-version-control-gui-guide.shtml * Use gluon: https://www.plasticscm.com/gluon.html Cloaking the entire workspace will force the client to just update that directory and nothing more. Using gluon will allow you to select the directories and file you want to update but it doesn't allow you to switch to another branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
