Question

I have the following SVN structure:

/Project1
    /trunk
        ( Shared code between all clients of project 1 )
    /branches
        Client1
            ( Specific code for version project 1 of the client 1 )
        Client2
            ( Specific code for version project 1 of the client 2 )
    /tags
    ...


/Project2
    /trunk
        ( Shared code between all clients of project 2 )
    /branches
        Client1
            ( Specific code for version project 2 of the client 1 )
        Client2
            ( Specific code for version project 2 of the client 2 )
    /tags
    ...


/Shared
    /trunk
        ( Shared code between project 1 and project 2 )
    /branches
        ...
    /tags
    ...

And I would like to know if it’s possible to checkout automatically both Project1 / trunk and Shared / trunk when I checkout Project1 / branches / Client1, in order to have the following structure at wwwroot:

/Project1_Client1
    ( Specific code for version project 1 of the client 1 )
    ( Shared code between all clients of project 1 )
    ( Shared code between project 1 and project 2 )

Answer 1

Here are the steps you have to do to get your solution (thanks to the tips of @Corbin and @Lazy_Badget, look at the documentation of SVN red book):

1. Add to the directory /Project1/branches/Client1 the following externals definition:

   /Project1/trunk Client1All
   /Shared/trunk Shared
   

2. As a result, you should get when checking out the directory /Project1/branches/Client1 as directory Project1_Client1 the following local structure:

   /Project1_Client1
     ... all the subdirectories as usual
     /Client1All
     /Shared
