BTW, I hope you didn't download the entire sandbox using SVN. That's a huge amount of files. A possibly better way is to download only the top=level sandbox directly itself as a separate SVN checkout. Then download each library in which you are interested as a separate SVN checkout in a directory just below your local top-level sandbox directory. You can then update each library separately without having to worry about any of the others.
This is essential advice (I started to fall into this pit before I realised that I was making a big mistake). It could usefully be amplified too, for those not so familiar with Tortoise SVN. Can it be added to the docs please? Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
