We want the secretary to *only* mount the 'Working' folder in the repository
so that #1 the files in 'Current' are not worked on directly, and #2 the
filesystem isn't used to directly copy the 'Current' folder into a subfolder
in the 'Archive' folder (where you subsequently lose all history on the
copied version of the files). Our script ensures the transition from
current-to-archive and working-to-current is done in an orderly fashion.
We will be running the repository differently when we set it up for the
development team - we will be using subversion clients (such as the repo
browser, TSVN, eclipse plugin etc.) and working copies, but for the
not-so-computer-savvy, this is out of the question - especially when this
thing will be setup where temporary contract staff may be updating files in
the repository.
I know that subversion was never meant to work in this way, but it would be
nice if the suggestion was taken seriously and a switch was added to the
copy command to allow forced overwrite.
