Sorry, my inexperience with Subversion led me in the wrong direction. I didn't
realize I could check out phase3 then point Subversion to the extensions
directory in phase3 to check out extensions. I thought Subversion would get
confused, but I just tried it and it worked :-). At least Subversion performed
the checkout. I haven't tried doing an update.
I just (case sensitively) searched the extensions directory for the string "$IP
=" and found 32 files that compute $IP on their own. How about creating a
standard bit of code that extensions and other modules can copy and use to
figure out MW root. For example, it is very unlikely that the name of the first
level directory (i.e., phase3) will change. The code can call dirname( __FILE__
) and then search from the end of the pathname until it finds phase3. It then
knows that the prefix is MW root.
