Hey Simon,
thanks for your response. I'm not sure if it is me that does not say it correctly. In any case I think we are talking about different things.
I don't want to get anything pushed to the Users and their Working Spaces.
Let me try to explain it like this:
Original File:
C:/SVNTest/Test.txt (Empty File)
Repository:
C:/SVNRepository
Import C:/SVNTest/Test.txt into C:/SVNRepository
mkdir C:/Users/MyName/SVNTest
SVN Checkout C:/SVNRepository in C:/Users/MyName/SVNTest
Update C:/Users/MyName/SVNTest
va C:/Users/MyName/SVNTest/Test.txt
(change something in it and save it)
Commit C:/Users/MyName/SVNTest
Now the Test.txt in the Repository (viewable through the Repo-Browser) has the changed Values in it.
But the File C:/SVNTest/Test.txt is still empty, it is not updated.
This is the problem I want the C:/SVNTest/Test.txt to be updated as well if someone commits something.
In this example it is a local installation since we are testing right now. In the end it shall be a Server installation with a Shared Drive Repository and Workin Spaces in the Home Directorys.
Hope this explains it a little bit better what I want to archive.
I got a clue on this already, that the Hook's could maybe help me with this?
Thanks for your help so far.
