SVN externals global for all team member

Question

I'm using TortoiseSVN and Subclipse.

I have following Project structure in one SVN repository

 /prj1
    -file.py
 /prj2
    -file2.py
    -file3.py

Now I want to use the file3.py in both projects.

I was able to do that localy for me with svn:externals via Subclipse

But that is just visible for me and not for all Team members.

How is it possible to make it global?

Answer 1

Some reasons why a commit of a single external file is not visible in another working copy:

• Maybe the other svn client does not support external properties for single files. Client must be at least version 1.6 (pretty old).
• You may have committed a change to one branch, but expecting it in another.
• Maybe the change was not committed in the first place.
• Maybe the change was committed, but the other working copy is not yet updated.
