I checked out empty folder from svn, then later on based on the need I want to update the file I need.

From command prompt, once we check out empty folder, we can use svn update filename.
How can we do the same in windows tortoise svn.

Regards,
Venkat

    I think you’re referring to a so called “sparse checkout” that doesn’t have all items of the repository fetched into the working copy.

    Since you’re using TortoiseSVN, you might want to read the section about sparse checkouts in the docs.

    Note there are several ways for you to get the files you want:

    • using the repository browser started from the working copy (“update to revision” in the context menu)
    • from the check-for-modifications dialog after you clicked on the “check repository” button there’s also the “update to revision” context menu entry
    • from the explorer “update to revision” context menu entry, use the “Choose items…” button in the update dialog

    I’m sure there are a few more ways, but they’re not so obvious…
