Hi,
a long-standing issue with our mirror of svn.zope.org are the absolute URLs of externals: they require the repository to be available on a given URL.
I propose to use relative URLs for externals. I guess a complete update isn't necessary, but I'd like to improve the situation and start using them from now on. Maybe we should also put a commit hook in place as a safety belt?
However, this requires Subversion 1.5 which we are using on the server already, but I don't know whether we assume clients are 1.5 or higher.
As a side effect this will also make svn/svn+ssh work in a nicer way (IMHO) as the externals will follow the protocol of what you used for checkout.
Sounds good to me. Jim -- Jim Fulton
