> Hi Guys,

> I've had this use case floating around in my head for a while
> now, and
> I wanted to ask this mailing list to see if it is possible to support
> it given what is currently in Subversion.
>
> I've read about exporting repositories, etc... but I'm not sure if
> that would fully support what I'm trying to do.
>
> Here's the situation:
>
> I work in Sales, specifically on the technical sales team. We have
> suite of our own products and product extensions that we've tweaked
> and create a demo environment from. This environment is source
> controlled using Subversion.
>
> Often, we work on site at prospects doing proof of concepts to show
> that our products can be configured to operate as the prospect
> intends. It is during these PoCs that a lot of development happens,
> sometimes reusable, most times very specific to the prospect in
> question but it always starts using our demo environment as a
> baseline.

> Of course, we need to use Subversion during these PoCs to make our

> at corporate.

> we be able to bring back our completed work, check it into the main
> repository on a branch, and then do some selective merging to bring
> only the reusable bits back into our trunk for continued use.
