Re: Svn externals question
If you do switch to the approach Stefan suggests (and I agree, it's probably more satisfactory) you also might want to use "svn switch" instead of the svn:externals. You'll still have the auditable, versioned definition of your canonical configuration (in the form of the script), but also there will be more freedom for variations, such as while preparing a new configuration.

Re: Svn externals question
In a checked-out working copy, "svn status" marks directories loaded by virtue of svn:externals with an 'X'. Other props, and finding even that one from the repository, requires scripting a loop to use "svn plist" or similar, I believe.

Sure, always interested in something new and different! It looks like you use Gmail, is that right? There's a "Show original" command in the [V] menu you see while reading the message. Can you copy and paste that and send it to me?

Re: spam being forwarded from ad...@subversion.apache.org
Does anyone still have a copy of the original spam as it was received -- the message that says "An e-card from XXX for you"? If so, can you send me a "raw message format" copy of it? It will help plug the leak. > -==- Jack Repenning Chief Technology Officer CollabNet, Inc. 8000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 600 Brisbane, California 94005 office: +1 650.228.2562 twitter: http://twitter.com/jrep

Oh, never mind about that. I can find at least a few in the database, which
should provide enough info to deal with this.
But for future reference, it really would be quicker if problems like this were
reported to that address.
