The feature, as you described in your earlier mail, sounds useful, but
you might want to post a more detailed description of it before
investing coding time. That would give the group enough information
to decide in advance "Yes, a reasonable implementation of this would
become part of Subversion."
As I understand it, the behavior you're proposing is
$ cd some-dir
$ svn co url1 1
$ svn co url2 2
Then 10 days later
$ svn up
from some-dir would update 1 and 2, because they would have been
registered as workspaces in `some-dir'. We'd need to know how this
feature behaves in when some-dir is just some directory, versus when
it is a working copy. There are probably other dangling questions you
can think of, too.
IOW, what's the spec for this? :-)
Thanks,
