I'm going bananas trying to maintain some files that were easy to deal with in Visual Source Safe. Essentially, I have a subversion project that contains Xaraya source code with all our modifications. We have configured Xaraya to use the same code base for multiple sites. Each site uses a different theme.
Each theme has some unique files and some common files. It's the common files that are giving me grief. If I update a common file, I have to copy it to every theme and then commit the file for every theme. In Visual Source Safe, I could share these files. Committing it in one place would get the new file pulled to all the themes.
I understand that if the common files were in a single directory together, I could use externals to mimic sharing. But, the way Xaraya code is organized, the files I need to share are not in directories with the other shared files. Some files in the same directory need to be unique.
I suppose I could write a script to automate the copying and submitting of the shared files. But, isn't there any way in subversion to deal with this kind of situation?
