help for svn:external
I try to use svn:external property but I can't.
my repository tree is like that:
root
project1
project1_file.txt
project2
project2_file.txt
I want to link project1 to project2.
Steps that I follow is like that:
1. I checkouted root folder to c:\root_wf
2. I changed the current directory to root_wf
cd c:\root_wf
3. I prompted this command:
c:\root_wf> svn propset svn:external "shadow file:///c:/test_rep/root/project1" c:\root_wf\project2
4. I checked
c:\root_wf> svn propget svn:external d:\temp\root_wf\project2
shadow2 file:///c:/test_rep/root/project1
5. I commited
c:\root_wf\svn commit
6. I checked the property in repository
D:\temp\root_wf>svn propget svn:external file:///c:/test_rep/root/project2
shadow2 file:///c:/test_rep/root/project1
7. I checkouted project2 as c:\project2_wf
svn checkout file:///c:/test_rep/root/project2 c:\project2_wf
but when I looked under project2_wf, I didn't see shadow folder and
shadow\project1_file.txt
is there any problem in the steps?
if you explain setting svn:external property with an example, I will be
happy.
Thank you.
