Re: Two trunks in one repository?

SVN won't care, but our IDE may not like it like that. The only reason I brought up svn:externals before is if PartA and PartB are already in SVN as their own repos (or trees under one repo) then ProjectD doesn't want a copy of those projects code, but rather a reference to them.

Thus, on ProjectD you'd have

svn propset svn:externals PartA ProjectA/tags/tagA1 PartB ProjectB/tags/tagB1

When you commit and update this, new folders appear (PartA and PartB) from svn checkout of tagA1 and tagB1 respectively. Update those tags or change externals to new tag, and your ProjectD gets the update at next svn up.

Subject: Re: Two trunks in one repository?

I am thinking something like this:

ProjectD
ProjectD/PartA/trunk
ProjectD/PartA/tags
ProjectD/PartA/branches
ProjectD/PartB/trunk
ProjectD/PartB/tags
ProjectD/PartB/branches

Beleive me or not in our scenario the code of Part A and Part B never gets merged at any point. The only common part is that at the end of each release of Part A and Part B their output file is concetenated into a one single file which is then programmed on a hardware part by an external tool.

So for a scenario like that I would like to keep it very simple. Any feedback or comments regarding the above structure?

Thanks!
