Here’s a quote from the TSVN doc:

‘URLs must be properly escaped or they will not work, e.g. you must replace each space with %20′

I hope it helps!

Hi,

How do I go about adding externals with a space in the directory name? Is this possible?

e.g. http://myproject//myFolder/test folder

thanks

Andy

Hello Jesper.

I think you could clarify this a little more:

1. Right click on the project folder [in which you want to create the externals folder] etc.

2. Now add the property to the dialog. Press add and fill in the following:
Property name: “svn:externals”/
[The following lines take the following form:
nameOfFolderYouWantToCreate [space] urlOfSourceFolder]
e.g.
css http://project_name/master/css
images http://project_name/master/images

I found your advice difficult to understand for someone who has never done anything with externals before.

Thanks.

Just what I was looking for. I tried and failed to get the ^/ etc. features to work but a direct link does the trick fine. Thanks Jesper for taking the trouble to document this.

[...] Ligesom ignore, som jeg ofte bruger til at undgå at committe bin og obj mapper, så er externals en egenskab på en SVN mappe. Det er temmelig simpelt at bruge og proceduren er beskrevet fantastisk for TortoiseSVN på bloggen justaddwater.dk af Jesper Rønn-Jensen. [...]

How can I use TortoiseSVN to manage svn:externals only for one file?, not for the complete folder.
For example:
External file: http://server/svn/project/trunk/scripts/functions.js
Branch file: \MyProject\scripts\functions.js

Just as a side note – issues with errors using “svn propedit” is related to the SVN_EDITOR environment variable not being set. On *nix you’d use something like “export SVN_EDITOR=vim” & on Windows you create a Environment variable pointing SVN_EDITOR to notepad or whatever.

I’d still way prefer TSVN though :)

[...] though this can be done with any SVN client (including the geekey command line client). Thanks to this and this, now things are working [...]

Thanks for the tip. Had similar setup in CVS, and this was first site I found – straight to the point and easy to follow.
