Sharing files between projects

[Igor Novosad <ig...@kongsberg.com>]

Hi,
I have a question about Subversion features.
Visual SourceSafe allows sharing of files between projects (in the same database): when a file has
been modified in one project, changes are propagated to all other projects, so that when a user
updates another project working copy, he will get the new version of the modified file.
Is this feature available in Subversion?

Thank you.

There is a somewhat-comparable feature called "externals" whereby a 
directory in Subversion can specify another "external" URL which should 
always be retrieved as part of a checkout or export of the first. Read 
up on "Externals Definitions" in chapter 7.
