Hi,

after a good night of sleep, I figured out what the problem is:

As this is a multiple repository project, there is no branch
attribute. Still we can use Interpolate to get the branch, but we need
use the src key and provide the codebase (saved in variable name), too:

factory.addStep(SVN(repourl=Interpolate(svn_root+name+'/%(src:name:branch)s/'),
   workdir=Interpolate('.%(src:name:branch)s/'+name),
   mode='incremental',codebase=name, haltOnFailure=True))

Now the checkout works like a charm!

Cheers!
