RE: Svn externals question

Hi,

Was looking to answer point 1 below not 2. Guess I should have RTFM a
bit more on that one... but thanks all for the help.
So that helps nicely with how to identify where all the properties are.
From reading all the answers I got have some questions on the best use
of svn:externals. Will use another answer to continue that thread.

Regards
Steve H

Not 100% clear what you're looking for. You could be looking for one of
two things:

1). You have a project, and it has svn:externals set on certain folders.
You want to find those folders.

That's fairly easy to do with the "svn propget". Go to the root of your
project and run:

    $ svn propget -v -R svn:externals

That will show you all the directories where svn:externals are set and
directories are being pulled in.

2). You have a bunch of "external" projects, and want to know in what
other projects they're being used.

This is much more difficult since there's no way to see what projects
are using a particular directory as an external project. The only thing
I can think of is to run the "svn propget" on the entire repository and
parse the output.
