Do you need each subdirectory to be mapped to the same directory,
or can the subdirectories stay subdirectories?
e.g.
Repository is like this:
\Repository\Music\Jon Daley\Greatest Hits
\Repository\Music\Jon Daley\The Classics
\Repository\Music\Joe Schmoe\The Best of the 60s
\Repository\Music\Joe Schmoe\Good ol' Rock and Roll
Do you want to be able to checkout all songs in the Greatest Hits and The
Best of the 60s to
c:\music\hit1.mp3
c:\music\hit2.mp3
c:\music\60s-1.mp3
c:\music\60s-2.mp3
That will be (impossible?) in subversion.
If you want:
c:\music\Greatest Hits\hit1.mp3
c:\music\Greatest Hits\hit2.mp3
c:\music\The Best of the 60s\60s-1.mp3
c:\music\The Best of the 60s\60s-2.mp3
that could be possible in tortoise, where c:\music wouldn't contain a .svn
folder, but the two subdirectories would.

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time."
So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
