This was the part that led me to believe (erroneously) that this thread was about deliverables only. In your example:
.../geronimo/stable/1.0/modules/transaction .../geronimo/stable/1.2/modules/transaction .../geronimo/stable/2.0/modules/transaction .../geronimo/unstable/1.3/modules/transaction .../geronimo/unstable/2.1/modules/transaction I'd think that transaction (as well as all other modules) might have stable, unstable, as well as 'releases'. stable (above) could just externalize transaction's stable (along with all the other modules), as could unstable and 'releases' at that higher level. Obviously this would have to be an SVN only exercise, but if you can allow a user/developer to check out X and hide that X is made up of 50 different 'externals', but also allow them to check out just 1 of those 50 modules without having to dig through an entire structure... ? Not thinking you were on track to restructure quite that much, so I'll go back to 'observing'. :-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCl7KKaCoPKRow/gARAqsSAJ9jd9TCHzDKo3Jevs9/3x22jEJLiQCg0rOd rI/bBEIW5t8tUn/Gkq1SPOI= =V9zh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
