Each subdirectory of course will have its own =2Egit and point back to the original svn repository so that I can change a particular subdirectory. =46or example, I have dirn from urln/trunk built and I want to change i= t to urln/branches/mybranch. Is there a good way of doing this without deleting everything under it? If I wipe out the dirn directory, I would wipe out the externals that came in with urln and I would have to pick up all the entries that follow. I do not want to pick up the external pointer from svn as I might not actually be using all of those. I want to only bring in the entries from the configuration file. Of course, it would be more useful if someone has already done it. The project that I am on would like to use python for this, but if someone has already written something, the language would not matter. -- =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0 Sabba=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0 -=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0= =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =D7=A1=D7=91=D7=90 =D7=94=D7=9C=D7=9C=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0= =C2=A0 -=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0 Hillel Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz | Said the fox to the fish, "Join me ashore" =C2=A0SabbaHillel@gmail.com | The fish are the Jews, Torah is our water http://sabbahillel.blogspot.com
