Jon,
On items 2&3 - I have no control over the location of the compiler output as
the generated files are required by the IDE itself. They must be located as
originally indicated:
> c:\<path to cbuilder5>\projects\bpl
> c:\<path to cbuilder5>\projects\lib
>
> c:\<path to cbuilder6>\projects\bpl
> c:\<path to cbuilder6>\projects\lib
>
> c:\<path to bds2006>\projects\bpl
> c:\<path to bds2006>\projects\lib
Let's take cbuilder5 for an example sake:
Each of the projects generate files of unique names and they must all go
into the same BPL folder. So let's say we have:
Proj1.bpl
Proj2.bpl
Proj3.bpl
Each 'Proj' will have other files associated with it in the LIB folder
Proj1.lib
Proj1.bpi
Proj2.lib
Proj2.bpi
Proj3.lib
Proj3.bpi
(unfortunately all files must co-exist in the one single folder for the
given compiler)
What would be nice is if I could commit 'Proj2' and only have the files
associated with that project committed, rather than everything in that
folder.
I've been spoiled with this ability in another product.
Looks like I'm going to have to think very carefully about how I design
things the second time around.

Right, externals is what you want. You still have to run
update/commit in each of the directories, but the files will be able to be
stored in one shared place. I'd try to avoid making too many projects,
unless you have to. Do your three compilers output any of the same file
names that you need to have checked in? If so, you will have to create
multiple "bpl" directories, rather than just one shared with all projects.
If they all output different filenames, than you can simply have one bpl
directory in the repository, and then use svn:externals to share them, or
even better, you might be able to not use svn:externals, but check out the
bpl project three times, once in each location.

I am not sure what this means. If you want to update the files
separately, it will be easiest to keep them in different directories,
otherwise you would have to update only particular files, and I always find
that hard to manage.

Does that cause comedy in the streets?
