Symbolic link to a subversion folder / tree

Good afternoon,

I have an interesting problem.

Due to the constraints of the IDE(s) that I am using both Visual Studio and Eclipse, where the files that I wish to share must be in a particular folder or location but really are the same file (ie. Image files, css, javascript files, HBM(s) etc etc), I would really like to store those in a common location in my Subversion directory and create a symbolic link to that folder within subversion.

That way when each developer checks out the project from Subversion it automatically grabs the common files from the common location and when changes are made to the common file all projects referencing this get the latest and greatest.

I have yet to see a nice solution or way to accomplish this but maybe I am using the wrong term

Anyone got any advice or ideas

Whatty
