Jenkins plugin for checking out a single modified file from SVN

I have a job in which the developer changes a file and checks back in in SVN. As soon as the developer checks in the file, Jenkins has to trigger a build and copy that changed file (not entire directory) from SVN to a target server.

For example, a developer checked in a file in trunk in SVN. Trunk contains a huge number of files, but Jenkins needs to copy only the changed file from the SVN trunk folder to a target server.

How this can be achieved? Is there a plugin or functionality that helps support this feature?

Maybe you can setup another folder in SVN which will have svn externals link to that one file, and then check out that 1 folder.

As for deploying that to the server, that's up to you how you do that (plugins, scripts, whatever)

You cannot check out a single file from Subversion. The smallest unit you can check out is a directory.

If you already have a working copy, an svn update will pull the differences.

You can use svn export or svn cat to extract a single file from the repository, but it will not have a connection back to the repository when you're finished (unlike a working copy).
