One Last Idea: Maybe it is not so easy to move pieces between repositories (as it is to move pieces between "projects" if they're in the same repository)?? I'm not as experienced at SVN as I am with CVS, unfortunately, so I'll expect other responses... but if your projects share components then this may be warranted, see below.

I've heard that subversion layers on top of RCS, same as CVS. In CVS I've made use of this in an admittedly rather hacking way. If I want to rename or copy a file, retaining the full history, I do it thus: echo > newname cvs add newname cvs commit newname # From the repository server and directory: cp oldname,v newname,v # Fix permissions as needed # From the working directory cvs update newname I don't know if subversion provides better ways to do this, or even if it is possible. But in CVS this trick works (with small and obvious procedural modifications) even if oldname and newname are served from different hosts. -- Allen Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.peak.org/~abrown/ The rub is finding that balance between being open-minded enough to accept radical new ideas but not so open-minded that your brains fall out. --- Michael Shermer _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
