Ryan,
Thanks for your help again.
After following the last steps of your instruction " Use
svn_load_dirs.pl to load modified-source and tag it as VERSION2:",
should i execute 'svn update' to make my 'modified-source' directory a
'working directory?
Or should i execute 'svn checkout' to a new directory and make that my
'working directory and removing my 'org-source' and 'modified-source'
directory.
Right now, when i commit a file from my 'modified-source' directory,
it said 'svn: modified-source' is not a working copy.
Thank you.
