I am no doubt structuring this incorrectly. My thought was that it would
work like the local ivy repos where versioned artifacts could be just thrown
into a a bucket, and you could retrieve the correct version using
latest.xxxx or by specifying a revision. To get around the deletion issue I
have restructured it to have separate directories for each revision.
Yes, that will work, and that's the way all the repositories I have seen
so far have been set up. However, I think your usage of a single
directory for different publications is a valid use case and IvySvn's
current behaviour of deleting the folder's contents is not a good one. I
will try change it so that deleting does not take place by default, but
can be enabled via a configuration option. I will send you a mail when I
put out a release with this in it.
