How do I do this Subversion checkout correctly?

I know I'm missing something small.. please help!

I have a repo for my website project that I can access like this:

svn+ssh://[email protected]/path/to/project/projectname

I'm trying to check it out into my webserver web root, but I always get the project folder inside the webroot, something like this:

htdocs/projectname/files (which would have to be accessed as http://mydomain/projectname/)

whereas what I obviously need is

htdocs/files (accessed as http://mydomain/)

Am I missing a simple flag somewhere?

If I've understood your situation correctly, it may work if you do

svn+ssh://[email protected]/path/to/project/projectname htdocs

You'll have to run that command from the directory that contains htdocs. Alternatively, if you are already in the htdocs directory then

svn+ssh://[email protected]/path/to/project/projectname .

may work. In either case you are giving a destination for the files.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you want to do an export or a checkout. You don't mention whether you want the server directory to contain all the versioning files.
