link files together

[Lukas]

Hey,

I'm are looking for a solution, where I can link files together. I am using different repositories for different versions of my software, so if I change a file in one repository and I have the same File in another repo, this file should also be updated. I've already tried using the external files property, but could not get this to work as intended. And now I'm wondering if there is a way to achieve this, or if I just should structure things differently.

Hello Lukas,

Could you please describe what make you think externals are not what is "intended"? Then tell us what is effectively intended.

Hello!

 

File externals do work only inside one repository (AFAIK), while directory externals work from one repo to the other as well.

 

“Different repositories for different versions of the software” sound a little scary for me. Why that?

 

Lukas, you might look into the “svn traditional” approach of having one repo for the all versions of this software and using a

“trunk / tags / branches” structure.

Then either use file externals (which would be inside one repo and thus should work) or merge of changes to all relevant branches.

@Hartmut  ok thanks I'll try that :) Theres actually no particular reason for using different Repos for different Versions, I just thought it would be fine ;)
