SubVersion switch to depth

When switching from for example trunk to a branch, I get 5 different depth options.

• Only a folder
• Files in a folder
• Direct children
• Recursively
• Working copy

What's the difference between these? The f开发者_JAVA技巧irst two should be fairly obvious, but not sure I get the difference between for example the last two.

Have a look at this nice documentation. It explains all the depth options pretty well, for example:

• Fully recursive -- Checkout the entire tree, including all child folders and sub-folders.
• Immediate children, including folders -- Checkout the specified directory, including all files and child folders, but do not populate the child folders.
• Only file children -- Checkout the specified directory, including all files but do not checkout any child folders.
• Only this item -- Checkout the directory only. Do not populate it with files or child folders.
• Working copy -- Retain the depth specified in the working copy. This option is not used in the checkout dialog, but it is the default in all other dialogs which have a depth setting.
• Exclude -- Used to reduce working copy depth after a folder has already been populated. This option is only available in the Update to revision dialog.
