I get what you're saying but there are 2 issues with the external
setting:
1-The user has to manually setup each external. It would be much
faster and accurate with the control click in repo method.
2-The company folder now has these external links associated with it
on the client. It'll change icon and look like it needs to be commit
right? If a user needs to commit a file (lets say a settings file)
they have to remember to uncheck the company folder or the externals
will be commited.
While externals 'could' work, it seems kinda hacky as it is not mean't
for this. I guess there is no way to just cherry pick checkout
directories? Seems like it should be in there and needed right?
I'm still a bit curious why this feature (ctrl+click on repo) worked
in the past and not in the newer version?
