RE: Externals with a different directory name?

Paul,

How would I reference the necessary "tag"/"version" of the 3rd party code
without using subdirectories in the URL?

My 3rd party vendor repository looks like:

  VENDOR_REPO_ROOT
  |_Solomon
    |_versions
       |_V55
       | |_{Version 55 source files}
       |_V60
       | |_{Version 60 source files}

My internal/common source code repository looks like:
  MY_SOLOMON_PROJ_REPO_ROOT
  |_Project_Nbr1
    |_{Common Code and Project file}

So my externals property to bring in the desired version of the third party
code, assume would have to use a URL like:
Svn:localhost/VENDOR_REPO_ROOT/Solomon/Version/V55

Because what I want to try to do is check out the content of that V55
subdirectory in the repository to a Directory named "Solomon" in my working
directory.... so I have to include the "subdirectories" in my URL don't I?

Tom,
What you are describing *should* work.

The only reason the svn:externals would create a sub-directory is if
the URL provided has a sub-directory.

Have you verified the structure of your vendor repository matches what
you're providing here ?

Regards,
Paul
