I think we may be talking at cross-purposes. What I mean is that
if we have two programs foo and bar that both use a library lib,
and I check out foo, giving me:
foo/foo.c
foo/lib/lib.c
and I edit foo/lib/lib.c and check it in,
you should then be able to check out bar and get
bar/bar.c
bar/lib/lib.c
with my changes to lib.c. I haven't seen anything in the
Subversion documentation to suggest that this can be done.
Peter.
