I noticed in the TortoiseSVN interface that there is a
"switch" repository command. What about using that? I
don't know what the command line equivalent would be,
but that should be able to let him do what he wants,
no? E.g. The following:
- Do work on repo
- Commit to repo
- Make release
- switch to alternate repo
- Make release
- switch back to primary repo
I think the only issue would be that the alternate
repo would have to have the same layout as the primary
repo. But you should be able to get that if you (a)
exported a release and made that the import of the
alternate's trunk, and (b) committed to the trunk of
the alternate and then made a release from the
alternate.
The process might get a little more muddy depending on
how well the tools handle the merging and such. At
worse case, you might have to check out your release
into a separate directory before doing the switch
process.
FYI - I am not 100% sure this will work - more like
25-50% sure. And wouldn't try it unless someone else
confirmed my line of thought; at least, not in your
normal WC with anything important.
The other alternative of just doing the export and
import into a branch on a separate repo will likely be
cleaner and easier to do though.
Just a thought & 2 cents for the pot.
