Re: Checking out to a SVN directory

Hi everyone,

    I just tried "svn update" with directories linked in via
"svn:externals", and the linked-in directories don't get updated, so
there would need to be an "update" script, to (say) change to the
top-level directory, find all the "externals" directories (via "svn
status," for instance), and do "svn update" in all these directories, as
well as in the main tree. Maybe there should be a note to this effect in
Issue 1167? It seems pretty similar...
