Re: Repository base for another repositories

If you specify a location in your first repository as an external
reference in a project in the second project, the corresponding contents
will be checked out in a subdirectory in your working copy so your
program code can use it. However, you will have to commit any changes
separately from this subdirectory and manually adjust the reference
when/if you want to switch from following the framework trunk to using a
specified revision or tag. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.externals.html to decide
if the technique will work for you.
