<br>Practical for their work on SVK.<br><br>My question is about the SVK views feature.<br><br>I'm currently experimenting with layering SVK over my existing<br>Subversion workflow so as to take advantage of its many cool features
<br>(above all, the excellent branching/merging). One of the problems is<br>that I make light use of the svn:externals feature and this is not<br>currently supported by SVK.<br><br>I see that this came up in the list archives in January[1] and the
<br>recommendation was to look at SVK's views feature. I've looked at the<br>output of "svk help view" and it's not entirely clear to me how I<br>would go about using this as a substitute for externals. Can anyone
<br>provide a quick walkthrough?<br><br>I also note that views are not yet recommended for production use[2].<br>Any idea on when they might be?<br><br>Finally, I found one other suggestion for working around the absence<br>
of externals[3]: "SVK doesn't do svn:externals. I worked with this by<br>mirroring every plugin and Rails, and using SVK copy to put a<br>particular version into my working copy."<br><br>Not really sure that I like that last one because evidently the copy
<br>won't automatically pick up updates, but neither does it rely on a<br>feature that's still in beta... Any other suggestions?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Wincent<br><br>[1] <a href="http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/svk-devel/2007-January/">
