I am writing a script to checkout data from an SVN repository. The URL is

There is a folder under passport on this non-local URL which I need to exclude from checkout viz. `Data_backup` (Folder name to be excluded).

SVN checkout command used is

svn checkout --username ab230141 --password Table717

>> C:/svn_log.log 2>&1

Can someone please help with the commands I could use for this ?

You can use [Sparse Directories][1]. You need `svn checkout --depth empty` followed by few `svn update --set-depth infinity` commands for the children. It's pretty well explained in the linked manual. I guess the deeper the excluded folder is in the tree, the more update commands you need.

Alternatively you can first checkout the whole tree and then run `svn update --set-depth exclude` for the folder you want to ignore.
