Okay, it's just important.

Right; basically svn:externals says: this directory is another repository to be checked out from here. It makes for some really nice features, like being able to tie together different programs at different revisions into a bundle. Plone and Zope use this extensively. I can't live without it any more. Oh, and another pro for SVN: Joey Hess uses SVN for everything, and so far he's not found anything better. To me, this was reason enough to stop my search and get on with it, using SVN. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system "the thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night." - friedrich nietzsche
