Reading SVN External Information

In your repositories svn external report, you may have many lines that link your repository to old SVN externals.

If you need to pull in the data from those repositories, it is helpful to understand the information below.

Here is an example output, and how it can be read.

OUTPUT EXAMPLE:

https://svn-url.com/svn/Project/MoreProject/EvenMoreProject -

-r 12345 ^/Project/SomeOtherProject@1234 Path/In/Repository

-r 123 /svn/some/path/to/another/repo@123 Path/in/Repo

-r 234 /svn/some/path/to/another/repo1@234 Another/Path/in/Repo

-r 456 /svn/some/path/to/another/repo1@456 Some/Path/in/Repo

In the EXAMPLE above:

https://svn-url.com/svn/Project/MoreProject/EvenMoreProject - this is the root repository

# -r 12345 ^/Project/SomeOtherProject@1234 Path/In/Repository - This is at what revision of the root repository another project is inserted

- It also states what revision that code was at, and where it was inserted into the root repository
