I have limited experience w/ svn (most of my repositories are still in CVS) but doesn't svn create a .svn directory in each committed directory? Having not looked at the docs for this I am guessing (someone please correct me if I'm wrong here) that the contents of that directory are used to control the state of the files in the current working directory. I'm wondering if it's possible in your svn commit script to create this direcotry and it's contents, mimicking the behavior of svn...
I would guess that the web server would need to be able to chown the directory to the svn user/group for this to work. Just a thought. On Wed, May 17, 2006 10:32 pm, Aaron J.
