Do you have a clever hack to work around svn:externals not being supported in bzr-svn

Question

I'm using bzr to access a Subversion repository. Which is great, but the repository uses quite a few svn:externals properties to bring in code from related projects.

Bzr-svn doesn't support svn:externals yet.

Is there a good way to work around this limitation?

Answer 1

I'm working on emulating svn:externals in bzr. It's not related to bzr-svn but instead tries to provide generic solution. Project still in the alpha stage but many things are working today. You can have a look at the project and it's docs. https://launchpad.net/bzr-scmproj

This plugin does not support svn:externals natively, but you can bring the required values to project config. If your svn:externals is not changed often it will work for you well.

Answer 2

FWIW, externals will probably be supported in a couple of months, when nested tree support in Bazaar itself lands.

Answer 3

Today another option is available: bzr-externals plugin. Check it!
