Inter project dependencies

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen <nh...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I have been asked to look into subversion as it has been decided that the
project I am working on should be moved from visual source safe to
subversion i order to ease collaboration with external partners.

I think I have gotten the hang of the basics by reading the subversion book
and trying out a few examples on a "playground" subversion server we have
setup.

My question is this. In the project we currently have several sub projects,
each containing a separate application. Each application may however have
dependencies to several of the other projects (App B may require a few
source files that exists in app A's project folder). How do I setup these
dependencies in subversion so that, a: whenever I checkout a sub project, I
automatically get the files I need from the other sub projects, and b: each
file exists only one in the subversion server and on my hard drive?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
