RE: How can I add a number of files scattered over the directory tree?

Hi Jim,

 

You will have to use make/install to move them because, the subversion
directory contains .svn which you don't need. 

You could however, maintain the same directory structure in subversion
as it appears in your target environment.

 

Thanks

I've a number of realted files I'd like to use svn to maintain but they
are located in widely scattered places, like /etc/
/usr/local/lib/cgi-bin, /usr/local/etc, etc.  I know I could keep copies
of them in a single file but I'd like to be able to checkout them to
their proper place, or is that a bad idea?  

I could also put thim in a single directory or small tree and use make
and install to move them.  

What's the best way to handle this problem?

Thanks,
Jim.
