Maybe I'm missing something, but what I've done in similar situations basically amounts to: svn propset svn:ignore "foo" . svn co http://example.com/repository foo Later: svn up foo rsync foo/ standard/location/ That is, the files are all copied (or symlinked) from a single foreign checkout directory into their standard homes within the native repository tree. IME, the "up vs co" logic is best stuck in a bootstrapping script ala: http://svn.dotreader.com/svn/dotreader/trunk/util/dev_fetch_books Do avoid svn:externals though. --Eric -- hobgoblin n 1: (folklore) a small grotesque supernatural creature that makes trouble for human beings --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
