Another question about structuring a repository
Hello,
is it somehow possible to have something like a "link" relative (or
absolute) to another repository part of subversion? I know about the
svnexternal property. But this is somehow a quite "hidden" feature and
is not relative?!
My idea is to have something like
funcpart1
-trunk
-branch
-tag
funcpart2
-trunk
-branch
-tag
funcpart3
-trunk
-branch
-tag
my_delivery
-trunk
-funcpart1 (--> ../funcpart1/tag/something)
-funcpart2 (--> ../funcpart2/tag/something)
-funcpart3 (--> ../funcpart3/tag/something)
(and so on)
Is there a way that funcpartX/tag/something notices that it is used by
my_delivery? (Forward History!) Ok, it might be easy to search about the
name in the deliveries...
Any ideas about other ways to structure the shown configuration. (Think
about that the folder my_delivery would be one folder for each project
whose number can be easily more than 100...!)

I don't think there is. Can you give an example of how you envision
such a utility would work? For several reasons (outlined here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=70165
) I think it is a good thing that externals aren't ultra-easy to define.
In fact, I am in the process of ensuring that only a select few people
can actually set or modify this property because it is easily misused.

Hi,
is there some tool or config script (for Windows) which can manage the
externals properties, e.g. in a configuration script? It would be pretty
unhandy for our users to modify them by hand, and also in Tortoise SVN
the properties are way to much away from a straight forward klick...

Subversion 1.5 has relative svn:externals:
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#relative-externals
So you'll easily be able to do this.
svn doesn't have "link"s, just externals.
Besides that, your structure looks fine.
Regards,
Blair
