Re: [VuFind-General] vufind and subversion?

[Katharina W. <wol...@fh...>]

Hi Frank,

thanks for your quick answer.

I've tried everything I could find on the vufind-documentation and managed to do
a successfull checkout into the vendor-directory and have indeed a subfolder
.svn inside it.

It seems the problems lie with the directories in between.

So the question for me at the moment is: how can I teach subversion about my
directory-structure? Or doesn't subversion know about it at all?

On the other hand I'm not quite sure if I understand vendor-branching correctly
(either in the vufind-documentation or in the book), but as far as I understand
that would be the optimal solution for our project.

It's frustating to understand the theory of things and get hung up on the
practical side of things. :-(
