Is it possible to link SVN repository files so that a file is actually a reference to another repository's file?

Question

I can see some potential difficulties with this concept but the idea is:

I change a file in Repository A and commit, Repository B has a file that is a link to a file in Repository A, I click update on the file in my working copy for repository B, and i receive the updated file from repository A.

Answer 1

Yes, for directories anyway

See this section on svn externals. The svn:externals property is set on a versioned directory; its value is typically another versioned directory in a repository (possibly the same one) of your organization. They act in the end something like symbolic links.

Update: Good call also by basszero but note that the questioner almost certainly does not have an svn 1.6 repo, so he can't do it with files.
