Copy and overwrite inside a repos

Hi,

I've got /repos/project1/file1 and /repos/project2/file1 (which is a
copy of a binary).
I've updated the project1/file1, and I would like to propagate this to
project2, in one operation,
like a svn copy -force /repos/project1/file1 /repos/project2/file1 but
I can't figure out how to do this without deleting the file first. Can
someone help me ?

I'm still looking for a way to have kind of symbolic links into my
subversion repos. If someone come up to an efficient solution .... I
think I will lose myself into hook scripts and properties.

Take a look at svnput in contrib. It will overwrite a file in the
repository like you want without needing a working copy.

You might also try svn:externals. It only works on folders, but since
you are operating on two seperate repositories it might be the best
way.

That's what I thought. I was trying to do this without a working copy.
Thanks anyway for confirmation.

"svn copy" will not overwrite.  You need to 'svn merge' whatever  
changeset modified /project1/file1 over to the /project2 area.
