I assume you're talking about something like shared files in VSS? The
closest thing in Subversion are "externals" (via the svn:externals
repository property). Those work on the directory level instead of the
file level. Basically you're telling one directory that it should always
pull in an "external" directory (which can be in the same repository or
a different one) during checkouts or exports.
