Even better, you can use 'relative' externals for such cases. See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html -- Brane
Is it possible to specify an external to the same repository?
Hi In our embedded projects we have a register interface maintained by our HW team and software that uses that register interface maintained by our SW team. As the interface is constantly changing, we want the software source files to reference a fixed version of the interface. In some projects the register interface and software are in separate repositories. So the software simply references the register interface using an svn external with fixed revision number. In other projects the register interface and software are in the same repository. It is inconvenient to instruct all developers and users to peg specific revisions of the register interface within their working copies. Can we use externals in this situation, or is there another solution? Best regards David
