Tim is suggesting that if we plan on moving modules around, Subversion's svn:externals facility might be something we want to examine as a mechanism for relating components (and different versions of those components) to large "deliverables". You end up storing each distinct component in a normal "trunk", "tags", "branches" directory that subversion users are used to, and you aggregate components into larger releases using the svn:externals property on a directory. He found this method to be helpful becuase it allows you to create releases of independently versioned subcomponents.

Given we want to refactor the project structures to native Maven we could: 1) Import CVS into SVN 2) Use SVN rename to rework the project structure 3) Keep the history attached to those files! http://weblogs.java.net/blog/joshy/archive/2005/03/subversion_rena.html -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Adrian Brock Chief Scientist JBoss Inc. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
