Note: Most users will find that using the install-fieldmap.sh script suffices for default field map installation: See https://www.muec-uk.org/trac/browser/COMET/comet_g4_install/trunk/install-defaultFieldMap.sh and use svn checkout https://www.muec-uk.org/muecuk/COMET/comet_g4_install/trunk to obtain the install script. How to checkout just one file (such as defaultFieldMap.dat.gz) ============================================================== To check out the single large file defaultFieldMap.dat.gz among all the huge files inside the directory you can see in https://www.muec-uk.org/trac/browser/COMET/fieldMaps/110812 Do this $svn checkout 'https://www.muec-uk.org/muecuk/COMET/fieldMaps/110812/' 110812 --depth empty # this checks out the directory 110812 without anything inside it # note also you replace "trac/browser" in the URL with "muecuk" to turn # it into a URL for SVN $cd 110812/ # enter the directory. It has the usual .svn directory in it $svn update defaultFieldMap.dat.gz # Update the directory with just the file you need.
