Are there any plans to support subversion working copies that contain externals?
Subversion externals are sort of the same as having nested working copies where you check out a copy of projectA, and then in the projectA working directory you check out projectB (except you can also do it with a single file). It's a mechanism to allow sharing source code between projects (admittedly it's not a very good mechanism for various reasons, but it's what subversion provides for that). http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html Right now, it appears that Meld just ignores the external files and directories. It would be ideal (IMO) if Meld would show status of external files and recurse into external directories the same as it does for 'normal' files and directories. NB: 'external' files and directories are physically present in the working copy, but they live in a different place in the repository that do the rest of the files in the working copy. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
