[Buildbot-devel] SVN checkouts: preserving directory name, multiple concurrent directories

[Zellyn Hunter]

Natalie,

Have you tried using the "workdir" arg to buildbot.steps.source.SVN to
get it to place files in a specific location? That worked for me:
before I added it, the two checkouts were clearing and repopulating
the same folder. I use relative paths like workdir="build/appA" and
workdir="build/appB".
