linux - Is it possible to make a link from file A to file B in a different directory within the same SVN repository? -
within same svn repository, have 2 directories, backend/
, product/
, both containing file named test.xml
.
how can make link product/test.xml
backend/test.xml
, such after have modified file product/test.xml
, done svn commit
, modified test.xml
doing svn backend/test.xml
?
by way, seems svn externals don't work, or have used in wrong way?
yes, can use svn externals
achieve want (svn 1.6+, two-thirds of way down).
first, need svn delete
test.xml backend\
folder , svn commit
. then, in backend\
folder, can set external thus:
me@computer:/backend$ svn propset svn:externals "^/projects/someproject/product/test.xml test.xml" .
(information special ^
(caret) character here in this answer).
it's worth noting overwrite previous value of svn:externals
property on path. if need set multiple externals, save text file of these (named, say, svn.externals
) in format:
(path01) (name01) (path02) (name02) (path03) (name03) . . . (pathn) (namen)
and use -f switch, so:
svn propset svn:externals -f svn.externals .
you more gui client rabbitvcs.
hope helps.
