Andy,
Actually, after looking into it, it seems that solution will not work
for me because of how the repository is set up. It looks something
like this:
Root/
MyProject/
Trunk/
Branches/
Tags/
SomeOtherProject/
...
ExternalProjects/
Trunk/
external1/
external2/
...
externalN/
Branches/
Tags/
I didn't set up the repository, so I have no control over the
structure. I think I'll have to do it by hand. Since I cannot modify
the structure to match what works with svncopy.pl, how am I able to
properly change the externals?
Thanks,
Jon
