从本地存储库到远程存储库的SVN外部

Question

I have a project hosted on svn://foo.com .

I want to use an svn:external file from a local repository. I want others who checkout a working copy to also download the external files. What do I need to add to the svn:externals file (in my wc) to achieve this?

Answer 1

So, you want that people who checkout your project also retrieve your external file. Using command line, on a Linux distribution, I would do that:

cd path/to/my/wc
svn propedit svn:externals .

svn will launch your favorite editor here, with a buffer open containing the current contents of the svn:externals property.You can add multiple values to a property easily here by entering one value per line.

According to your example, I would append to this buffer:

myExternalFileName svn://foo.com/myExternalFileName

Finally, you just have to commit your changes:

svn ci . -m "Edited svn:externals... My wonderful message"
