I also really worried about this header issue.
Volodya, thanks for the svn:externals suggestion. I'll try to learn more about svn:externals so I can form an opinion.
I said I was "out of ideas", but that was a little disingenuous. This is certainly one of many possible implementations, but I urge caution here. We've been using svn:externals for subproject management for a while, against the conventional
wisdom.
It makes merging even harder, can turn a large difficult-to-merge project into an impossible to merge project. You can end up needing to write tools to wrangle your externals.
Time for Git?
Last time I've checked, it has no externals support whatsoever.
I use git-submodule all the time. Does that not count as externals support? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
