Subversion and externals: forcing externals to a particular date/revision
Subversion notes from irc.freenode.net2#svn:
[outofrange] My problem is we have svn-externals and we always want the most current checkout from that -- so no rev numbers in svn-externals.
[simoncion] Oh
[outofrange] So now I want to go back in time [with both my repo and the external repo (ed.)] -- but just using -r 1234 on my repo won't cause my externals to magically go back in time.
[simoncion] Right
[simoncion] Hmm.
* simoncion doesn't know.
[outofrange] I suppose I could use -r {date} on both my repo and the externals.
[simoncion] I wonder if you could to an svn update -r $DATE inside the folder that the externals are dumped in?
My advice turns out to be exactly what he needed to do.
