Re: partial branch?

Indeed svn:externals works, but only on directories. It won't let me
specify just an external file (bug/incompleteness?).

Although, it's better than you said, the svn:externals prop attatched to
the dir gets inherited by other checkouts, that thus get the same setup,
not just my working version.

And there's still the pesky task of making a shallow copy where most of
the stuff is external/on-the-mainline and a few things are branched.

(Partial branching is a major wishlist item for me, cvs almost has it too,
but it's lack is causing major headaches at my workplace.)
