Hello the list, I just lost a few hours trying to do this:
$ cd ~/.subversion $ rm -f config $ ln -s /path/to/another/config . The link command kept failing, because "File exists" WTF ? Turns out I cannot remove ~/.subversion/* in one command, as some other process is protecting them from deletion (but not from editing). Eventually I did figure out the workaround, which is simply to join them into one command $ rm -f config && ln -s /path/to/another/config . But it was a £*({ing annoying few hours between problem arising and finding solution (and even more annoying that the solution was so simple) I can find no documentation of this feature at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/ http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-users/ so, I would like to ask: a) where is it documented ? b) can it be extended to other user-configurable directories ? Thank you for reading this far, and any writing you might be able to do. -- Alan
