Re: Creating and using child repositories of repositories which contain externals.

It was the exactly ignoring of .svn folders, but not externals (or at least not preserving their "externalism") that seemed somewhat incomplete, at lease to my un-svn-expeienced eye.

Again, thanks for the reply!

Thanks for your reply and recommendations. I'll double check on the

You probably haven't gotten to it yet, but I sent a follow-up to this
earlier today (which did NOT contain these suggestions, so again thank you
for them) -- I'm investigating using cygwin as a wrapper-that-supports-
link for the Windows build environment -- links seem like what we want
anyway, and the Windows build tools can, of course, be called from there.

IFF, after all is said and done (and also working), I took the time to add
--ignore-externals to `svn import ...` -- which is where, to my untrained
svn eye it (also) belongs, do you think it would be useful, and fit with
the svn mantra, or is there a better way to cover this space, and whatever
related version-control spaces yet to be covered? There doesn't *seem*
like there's enough time in my schedule for this, but IFF...

It's a bit peculiar to have an "--ignore-externals" option in "svn import" since the purpose of "svn import" is to import an unversioned directory into a repository. So that option would only apply if you're importing from an existing working copy into a different repository, which is an unusual use of "svn import", though it does know about this use and does already know to ignore the .svn directories.
