Hi,
we have the following situation here:
Our SVN-repository contains our project's sourcecode and the sourcecode from
some 3rd party libs.
Most of these 3rd party libs are CVS checkouts and we update them every month.
Sometimes these libs delete files or add files which is a problem with our
SVN, because files have to be added/deleted by hand.
The only solution at this time is:
a) svn del the lib-directories
b) svn ci
c) put the updatet sources in place
d) svn add the lib-directories
e) svn ci
That's much work and it uses much more space in the repos (we had a 5GB-repos
after a half year), because this method doesn't use diffs.
A nice SVN-feature would be the following:
"svn diffupdate <directory>" or something like that, which
a) adds all files/directories within that directory that isn't inside the
SVN-repos yet.
b) deletes all files/dirs from the SVN-repos when they are not found within
that directory any more
There are some similarities to svn import, I guess.
What do you think? Is it a good feature or is there a better workaround for
situations like that? (ok, the easiest way would be not to include the 3rd
party libs within our SVN-repos, but we have reasons to do so)
Or maybe there still exists a tool that can do this?

Thanks in advance
Mark
