SVN vs CVS
Hi all.
I'm comparing my old cvs with svn in order to convert my cvs projects to
svn repositories. Before do it I need to undestand I can get with svn
some features that I have with cvs.
One important cvs feature is the automatic revision printing into the
file committed, if there are some strings like:
$revision: $
$author: $
end so on...
Does it exists in svn? I can't find it in the book...
Another very important feature is that with cvs I can link a project
with another. For example:
I have a project named UTIL with all the utility libraries. This can be
a stand-alone project. I have another stand-alone project named MYPROG
which needs the utility libraries, so I can link a directory branch of
it with UTIL project. I hope the example is clear.
Can I do it with svn?
Thank you!
Luigi

Yes - except for $log$. See

You can check Properties - svn:keywords
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.4
and svn:externals
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.6
Note, that svn:externals is for linking directories, not single files.
Cheers,
