Perhaps you are right here Stefan, but that means that I have wasted a
lot of time over the past couple of months. When I first learned of
the availability of file externals, I decided to completely re-
structure my repositories, combining several repos into a single repo.
(My administrator was not particularly happy about this.) In my case
I have a large number (~100) number crunching library routines. For a
typical project, I would bring in a dozen or more of these routines.
Previously, I would just make copies and hope that I could keep things
synchronized (occasionally I have to modify one of the library
routines). It seemed that the file externals feature was what I
needed. However, for all of the reasons discussed in this thread, I am
beginning to regret this move. I realize that mostly these are
Subversion and not TSVN issues, but I sure hoped that TSVN could help
out.
By the way, I don't mean to sound critical of you guys. I really
appreciate your hard work and I could not get along without TSVN.
