hi, i'm new to svn thanks to versions, which really made a good impression on me so far.
but i have a conceptual problem that i am trying to get around and i would kindly ask the more experienced on this list to help me out. say i'm working on a wordpress-based project. i set up a local working copy and i checked out the latest wordpress tag (2.8) from the wordpress repository. i also established an external link to my own repository for the files i am developing (a theme folder). and i established external links between the plugin folder and the plugin repository for third-party plugins that i am using. so far so good. i can commit changes i made to my local files to my repository, it's all working fine. BUT 1) because my top-level folder in the working copy is actually a checkout from the wordpress repository (where i have no write privileges), i cannot simply select the whole project and commit -- i get prompted for user/password and i can't go beyond this. i would think that versions should have a setting or something that would make it possible for me to commit only those changes for which i have write privileges and ignore the rest. is this a reasonable request to make? 2) what will happen when wordpress comes out with a new revision. right now, if i select 2.7.1, i.e. if i want to downgrade, and i try to check it out to the same folder where i have my 2.8 installation, i am warned that the folder already exists and that its contents will be overwritten. so how can i update a working copy to a new release whiteout overwriting externals? these are probably very basic questions, but i hope somebody will be able to point me in the right direction. all best, toma --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.
