I see yet another problem with svn. modperl-2.0 uses svn:externals:
docs https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/docs/trunk/src/docs/2.0
Apache-Test https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/trunk/perl-framework/Apache-Test


Now when I run 'svn diff' at the top level it won't show the diff for those externals. Why? How this can be fixed? Thanks.

Would it be feasible to only change and commit files in separate working copies of A-T and docs? That would also have the advantage that the externals wouldn't require https URLs.

Sorry Markus, I don't understand what do you propose.

What I mean is, checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/docs/trunk/ and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/trunk/ (or subpaths of those) into their own working copies, and only edit files in those WCs, instead of editing files in the external paths of your main modperl WC of https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/trunk.


That way, you don't need recursive diff over externals, and you don't need https URLs for the externals, since you don't commit through them. Even Unix users without SSL compiled-in can then retrieve the source (standard Windows binaries and the popular TortoiseSVN client have SSL).

Of course, depending on how you work, having three different working copies might not be a good option.
