I would like to set up repository with some files from /etc in it. Basically
every time I come to edit a file in /etc I would like to add it to the
repository so I have a record of changes to it.
I tried this wholesale (by importing the whole of etc and then trying to check
it out again) but it wouldn't work. In frustration I deleted etc and then
checked out. All I can say is I am glad I had a backup - I had forgotten
about no symlinks.
Is there an approach where I don't have to delete the directory before making
it a working copy? (especially since I don't necessarily want to import the
whole of /etc in to a repository but only the files that I am going to edit).
One possible approach I was considering was make an empty repository (that I
will use for the /etc directory) and then checking it out into a dummy
directory and then moving the .svn directory that results into /etc, then svn
adding any file I want to include. I had a look at a .svn directory created
this way and it doesn't appear to have anything related to the actual
directory its in. Would this work?
