How do I share files?
Hello... I have two projects in Subversion. I am trying, in Visual
Studio 2008 Pro, to share some of the .cs files in Project 'A' with a
new project ('B') I am writing.
I know how to share .cs files from within VS, but how to I get them out
of the repository?

Ah ha! I knew as soon as I typed that up that I'd be proven wrong.

As of SVN 1.6, file-level externals are supported. This is very close
to VSS's sharing IIRC (been a few years since I've dealt with VSS).

Unlike VSS / SourceOffSite, SVN doesn't (currently... with no plans to
change) support the sharing of individual files, instead it likes to
work on a folder (project) level.
So if you can put the resources to be shared in a sub-folder of your VS
project, you can then use svn:externals to share them to another folder
as a sub-folder.

Read about svn:externals in the svn book.
