I am currently working on a project which is composed of multiple software units stored on one SVN repository. To assemble the project, I am using svn:externals as below (although in reality there is more like 30-40 individual units...)

(local)                            (url)
Sources/<layer>/software_unit_1    <svn server>/components/software_unit_1/source_code

Sources/<layer>/software_unit_2    <svn server>/components/software_unit_2/source_code

Sources/<layer>/software_unit_3    <svn server>/components/software_unit_3/source_code

Commits often comprise of changes to multiple software units. However, I an unable to select any files from the externals in the tortoise svn commit dialog:

tortoise svn commit window showing greyed-out checkboxes

...so how do I commit to externals? Everything is versioned under the same repository so I don't see a problem why this shouldn't be possible.

  • Well, from what I understood, the conclusion from the comments is that it is incorrect behavior. Anyway, this seems to be possible when changes to be committed are direct children of the external containing folder, so it's inconsistent whatever the intended behaviour... I say bug.
