Another way to do this is to add contrib as an svn external: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.htmlSet up like this, an "svn update" in the root directory would update both projects.
Very cool. I saw this kind of thing in action for the first time yesterday when checking out Clozure Common Lisp via svn. I had no idea how they did that.
I just tried it with clojure and clojure-contrib and it worked very smoothly. One potential glitch is that the external reference for contrib would presumably be:
contrib http://clojure-contrib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
However, for a member of clojure-contrib, the correct entry would be:
contrib https://clojure-contrib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
(https vs. http)
Have the svn folks come up with a neat solution for that case or would
a clojure-contrib member simply propedit his local clojure svn
checkout to give the correct URL for him?
Thanks for the pointer to the info about external! --Steve
