multiple repositories

["Skybuck@home.nl" <sk...@home.nl>]

Hi,

There is this project called ufo2000.

I would like to checkout some version from the ufo2000 repository.

Then checkit in into my own local repository, so that I can work on it
locally... with versioning etc.

Later I would like to checkout my changes and commit them to the ufo2000
repository.

Is this a good idea ?

Another question: Can multiple repositories be merged together ?

Another question: Can one repository be exported to another ?

Please also CC to my e-mail address: (skybuck@home.nl)

Bye,
  Skybuck.

Check out svk

which allows you to create local mirrors of remote repositories, including 
updates in both directions.  The author is currently working on extending 
mirroring to non-Subversion repositories (i.e CVS, Perforce).

In what sense?  You can export from one repository and load that into another.

I suspect you are asking if one repository can push commits to another; there 
are a couple of people working on features like this.  However, there is no base 
functionality in Subversion which supports distributed replication, per se.
