Hi,
On the TortoiseSVN mailing list I asked for a feature that would
explicitly show svn:externals directories when browsing through a
repository, i.e. by displaying those folders in a different colour.
Currently TSVN's Repo(sitory) Browser doesn't show externals. Only when
you look at the properties of the directory you can find out if it
contains externals.
Stefan, TSVN's primary coder, responded that he'd like such a feature
too. But he said it could only be implemented if TSVN looked at the
properties of each directory in the repository, which would heavily slow
down the browsing process.
So I think from a TSVN perspective there's no easy way to solve this.
But maybe something can be added to Subversion itself? Would it be
possible for Subversion to indicate to a client that a folder contains
externals, without requiring the extra round-trip to fetch the
properties?
Greetings,
Leon Zandman
