svn propset svn:externals

[Paul Grenyer <pa...@paulgrenyer.co.uk>]

Hi All

I've googled for this, which searched this list archives, but I've not found
the answer. I have two repositories on tigirs.org:

http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn
http://elephant.tigris.org/svn/elephant (approval pending)

When I check elephant out I want http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn/trunk to
automatically check out to
http://elephant.tigris.org/svn/elephant/trunk/aeryn. I've already created
the Aeryn folder under the elephant tree. To try and create this link I did:

cd c:\sandbox\elephant
svn propset svn:externals http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn/trunk
trunk/aeryn

and I get the error:

svn: Error parsing svn:externals property on 'trunk\aeryn':
'http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn/trunk'

and now I'm totally lost. Could someone give me some direction, please?

Thanks!

Regards
Paul

Unfortunately this gives me:

svn: Setting property on non-local target
'http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn/trunk' is not supported

Your order of arguments for svn:externals is backwards.  It should be
"local" directory, then the remote URL (I think).

Try this (assuming that trunk doesn't exist yet in "elephant".  BTW,
that sounds really weird when read aloud :) )

cd c:\sandbox\elephant
md trunk
svn add trunk
cd trunk
svn propset svn:externals aeryn http://aeryn.tigris.org/svn/aeryn/trunk

you need to set svn:externals on the folder you want the subfolder to
appear in, that is

   cd c:\sandbox\elephant\trunc
   svn propset svn:externals aeryn <url> >trunk/aeryn
