Checking Rails Project into Subversion

The book "Rails Cookbook" has a wonderful section on "Getting Your Rails Project into Subversion".

In short, here are the steps:

Create Soft Link in Subversion

Subversion supports symbolic link, as stated in http://subversion.tigris.org/. Here is the quote:  

  • Versioning of symbolic links

    Unix users can place symbolic links under version control. The links are recreated in Unix working copies, but not in win32 working copies.

  • it's simple to test this. In a directory where you have svn code checked out, do

    % ln -s file file_link
    % svn add file_link
    % svn ci
