I have a Subversion repository on a windows cifs share. In the repository are same externals, now externals have to be absolute not relative, so whey point to file://server-name/share/a/b/c. Now when a working copy is checked-out to Gnu/Linux box it does not understand.

It there a way to map file://my-server/share to a directory?

    svn 1.5 and later actually support specifying externals by a relative path. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html

    • ../

    Relative to the URL of the directory on which the svn:externals property is set

    • ^/

    Relative to the root of the repository in which the svn:externals property is versioned

    • //

    Relative to the scheme of the URL of the directory on which the svn:externals property is set

    • /

    Relative to the root URL of the server on which the svn:externals property is versioned
