svn equiv of cvs alias?
Hi all,
I'm still working on my homedir under svn problem (between narrowly
avoiding the layoff axe and moving our lab to a new location, I
haven't had much "play" time :)
The original article I read which inspired me to attempt this under
svn actually used CVS. The author mentioned using CVS Modules which
led me down the wrong track with svn:externals last week. On closer
re-reading of the article, it appears he used CVS Aliases in the
*modules* file, like this:
pll -u cvsfix -o cvsfix pll-cvs/home &src &doc &html &lib &bin &mail
pllbin -u cvsfix -o cvsfix pll-cvs/home &bin
Is there something analagous to this construct in svn?
If not, would it make sense to create separate svn repos for each
major subdir, with essentially nothing under the top-level homedir
repo, yet attach an svn:externals list to the main top-level dir such
that when it gets checked out, it then pulls in the other repos?
Thanks,

Seeya,

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

I knew you were going to say that :)
Are aliases a CVS feature planned for the future of svn? Or are they
considered a "bad idea" which will never be implemented?
>(Brian Fitzpatrick may be doing something like this with the
>svnbook.red-bean.com web site, too).
Hmmm, okay. Brian, is this what you're doing?

Yes, I think that's the strategy you probably want. (Brian
Fitzpatrick may be doing something like this with the
svnbook.red-bean.com web site, too).
