Hey Simon -
The docs are back up this morning so I took a look and I think that
maybe, just maybe, svn:externals may offer some promise. I'd like to
explain my situation, though, to determine whether it will work:
I have a core code base...
installroot
/dir1
/dir2
/mod
/addons
/core
/shared
/images
In my scenario, each addon module is a separate project within the
same repository as core. Each addon lives in its own folder so I
could, from the installroot, define an external project for each addon
as:
mod/addons/addon1 http://www.myproject.com/repos/project/addons/addon1/trunk
mod/addons/addon2 http://www.myproject.com/repos/project/addons/addon2/trunk
If I understand this correctly, that doesn't appear to be any problem.
Here's where it might be dicey...
That addon project also contains images that need to be checked out to
/shared/images, but here's the catch: that directory *also* contains
images populated by the core project. Can svn:externals handle a
directory that is populated by multiple projects?
I appreciate your insight on this. I'm just undergoing the transition
from VSS and I don't want to handicap myself before I ever get
started.
