SVN: Checkout/export only the directory structure

Question

Is there a way to perform a SVN checkout (or export), which would fetch only the directory structure; that is to say, no files?

Answer 1

Just wanted to add, if you need to do this server-side (i.e. not checking out the repository first), the equivalent to svn ls is svnlook tree --full-paths. I had to create a copy of a 50GB repo's folder structure and used the hints I found here to do it without having to create a working copy of the whole thing.

My code was:

svnlook tree /path/to/repo --full-paths | grep "/$" | grep -v "^/$" | xargs -I {} mkdir -p "{}"

The grep -v "^/$" because the output contained a single / (i.e. file system root folder) and I didn't want to mess around with that.
