Can I use a text file to set svn:externals in SharpSvn's SetProperty() method ?

Question

My aim is to set more than one externals (links) to a project so that anybody checking out the project should get all the externals at the same time. This can be achieved in SVN.EXE as - propset svn:externals -F svnexternalsfile .

How can I specify the external file in SetProperty() method in SharpSvn ?

Answer 1

SharpSvn doesn't handle the file reading for you; it just allows setting properties.

using(SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
   string val = File.ReadAllText("C:\\My\\file.txt");

   client.SetProperty("C:\\WorkDir", SvnPropertyNames.SvnExternals, val);
}
