How to commit changes to SVN External?

Question

I have a SVN external setup in my code which pulls all the code for a directory from another repository. When I make a change to that code and try to commit the change, it doesn't show any changes to commit in tortoiseSVN. How do I commit changes made in a externals directory back to the repository the code came from?

Answer 1

You need to commit from within the external directory.

CLI equivalent:

svn commit dirname
