Sharing files across projects

[Ben Shamsian <bb...@hotmail.com>]

Everyone,

There was a feature request put in for Subversion to be able to share a file across projects:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2421

The person who requested their feature entered it as a task which was closed.  I am looking to see if there is a corresponding issue for this request before I enter one.  I looked in issue tracker but I could not find such a request.  Other than source code files there are property files that we share across projects and maintaining multiple copies across projects is very cumbersome.   I was wondering if this feature would ever get into Subversion.

Thanks
Ben Samson

If you can arrange your common files such that they're in a directory  
on their own, then the "externals" feature would be of use to you.
