While I ha= ve not had the issue you are having, assuming the externals are in the same= repository I would highly recommend changing from using the syntax you hav= e to using the carrot (^) operator as it will save you many headaches if yo= ur original svn location changes.

<= div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new r= oman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: norma= l;">I.e. use:

^/FOLDER_A FOLDER_C
^/FOLDER_B FOLDER_D

Also, I think the specific is= sue you are having (looking more closely at the error message below) is tha= t AFAIK, SVN does not let you import specific files via externals - you hav= e to do name spaces (aka folders) instead.

I would suggest doing one of two things in a batch file = that gets run after checkout (manually by the user, though TSVN may be able= to give you some automatic client-side scripting):

<= span>
1. Use "mklink" to create an NTFS file link af= ter the checkout for the file you are trying to relocate.
2. Copy the file from the one directory to the other

Or

3. Copy the file as part of the SVN source tree to the other folder; but you'll also have to continuously merge the changes back = and forth.

#1 is your be= st option if you want to not change anything at all, but requires that you = are running a newer version of Windows than Windows XP. I think Microsoft f= irst started providing the "mklink" utility with Vista; but it could be WIn= 7, and might also depend on which edition of each of those you have as well= . (e.g. it might not be in the Home Premium version, but might be in Pro an= d Ultimate).

#2 is = an okay backup if you can't do #1, but you'll need to treat the file as rea= d-only as it will certainly be very much manual effort to maintain.<= /div>

#3 is automatic, but you'd have= to ensure the file matches what is at its origin - a bit of a manual effor= t, but easy to do.

Subje= ct: SVN Externals 1.6 to 1.7 migration issue
=

Hi,

We're been using 1.6 svn exte= rnals to manage a FW task.

In the repository we have a folder struct= ure (which is pretty much defined by the tools we are using) as below :-
FOLDER A -> file_a1.txt, file_a2.txt, file_a3.txt
FOLDER B ->= file_b1.txt, file_b2.txt, file_b3.txt

Then using externals we link = to those folder to create a WC PROJECT structure that looks like :-

= PROJECT -> FOLDER C ->  file_a1.txt, file_a2.txt, file_a3.txt AND  file_b1.txt
PROJECT -> FOLDER D ->  file_b1.txt, f= ile_b2.txt, file_b3.txt

The externals on PROJECT FOLDER we used look= ed like (not actually using file protocol, just created for example purpose= s) :-

file:///D:/FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FOLDER_A FOLDER_C
file:///D:= /FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FOLDER_B FOLDER_D
file:///D:/FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FO= LDER_B/file_b1.txt FOLDER_C/file_b1.txt

Worked ok with 1.6. We get t= he below error in 1.7 when updating of :-

External failed: &nbs= p;  D:\FPGA\SVN_ISSUE\PROJECT\FOLDER_C\file_b1.txt 
Error: &= nbsp;       Cannot insert a file external defined = on 'D:\FPGA\SVN_ISSUE\PROJECT' into the 
Error:    =       working copy 'D:\FPGA\SVN_ISSUE\PROJECT\FOLDER_C'= . 

We have tried a few things (will not share all at this poin= t due to info overload), but wondered if there were any others that achieve something like this with 1.7 or could offer some advise ?

T= hanks for any help.

Regards
Steve H
