[R] read ESRI file geodatabase feature classes

[Al Kirschbaum]

Hello-

Does anyone know if R can read in ESRI file geodatabase feature
classes, directly from the file geodatabase? I currently have to
export the data out of Arc, to a csv file, then read the csv file. I'd
like to bypass this step and read directly from the file geodatabase.

Thanks for your help.
