http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/rat/main/trunk/scan/ is code
used to scan distribution directories for changes. i'm currently using a
svn:externals to import trunk but i'd prefer to be able to control
changes. so i'm plan to create a branch (incubator-site, perhaps) for
this purpose and periodically merge the changes made in head onto this
branch.
can anyone see any problems with this approach?
If you really want to selectively merge individual changes into
a tag, I don't see a problem. If you just want to decouple from
development in trunk and occasionally update the tag with
everything in trunk, it might be cheaper to just reference
a specific revision of the trunk in svn:externals and update
the revision number once in a while.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried that yet, I'm just guessing that
one can reference a specific revision via URL.
