svn external and tags

[Manfred Gruber <m....@tirol.com>]

hi !

I have a problem how to handle following problem, maybe someone has already 
done this or has some information for me:

I have some repositorities which have like this structure:

FIRST REPO:
project1 	--
		trunk	--
					dir1 --
					dir2 --
					dir3 -- is a svn:external on SECOND REPO projectX on trunk/dir3
		branches	--
					some branches with the svn:external pointing to that like it is in trunk
		tags		--
project2 	--
		trunk	--
					dir4 
					dir5 is a svn:external on SECOND REPO projectX on branches/dir5
					...
		branches	--
					some branches with the svn:external pointing to that like it is in trunk
		tags		--

SECOND REPO:
projectX 	--
		trunk	--
					dir3 --> used in project1 with svn:external
					dir5 
					...
		branches	--
					dir5 --> used in project2 with svn:external
		tags		--

Now to my problem. Our strategy is that everyone how works in a trunk or 
branches has to know and has to handle its svn externals on its own. I as 
admin of the repos do not to take care about svn:externals.

But when now someone makes a version for a customer, he makes from a trunk or 
a branche a tag. And now with a hook script should the svn:externals also be 
changed to a tag in its repositorty. For example project1/trunk/* becomes 
project1/tags/customer_version1/*. And now the svn:external on dir3 should 
point to SECOND REPO /projectX/tags/customer_version1/dir3, and it should 
also be copied from trunk/dir3 to tags/customer_version1/dir3.

Has someone done or tried something? I have found the svncopy.pl script, which 
I think I should use in my hook script. 

Maybe someone has already something like this running?

thanks a lot
