Mixing external (shared) files with project specific files in a common directory

Hi,

I have a project structure like this in my SVN repository:

|
+-ForCompilerA
| +-FrameworkDir
|   +-FrameworkPart1.c
|   +-FrameworkPart2.c
+-ForCompilerB
| +-FrameworkDir
|   +-FrameworkPart1.c
|   +-FrameworkPart2.c
+-CommonFiles
  +-FrameworkPart3.c
  +-FrameworkPart4.c

Some of the files need to be shared for both compilers and some need to be
compiler specific. I tried to set the svn:externals property of the
ForCompilerA directory to "FrameworkDir file:///MyCommonFilesRepository" but
only get the error "Working copy 'C:\dev_test\WST31ltA\Share\LangClt\oxf'
locked".
In the example above I need the common files FrameworkPart3.c and
FrameworkPart4.c to sit in one directory FrameworkDir together with
FrameworkPart1.c and FrameworkPart2.c.

The structure is fixed so I can't have the common files in another
subdirectory or something similar.

Is there a way to set up or use subversion to behave like I need it to? Or
am I using the wrong construct to "share" my files?

Thanks, Eike Roemer
