Here's an example. Most of my files are managed under Subversion, with a single repository. I have a perl directory containing my Perl scripts. But some of my Perl scripts are on my web server, which corresponds to the www/software directory. For instance, these two files are the same one: perl/bkm2a www/software/bkm2a So, having a way to tell that to Subversion would be a good feature. For the moment, this is handled by a script. A symlink wouldn't be sufficient (or would be less practical), as my website also contains "real" symlinks. So, I want to make a difference between the two kinds of links. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
