SVN externals sub folder changes not showing in view log (tortoise svn)

SVN externals allow you to make an SVN folder appear as if it's at another location. A good use for this is having a common folder shared across all of your projects in SVN.

I have a /trunk/common folder in SVN that I share via several different project.

Example:

  • Project1 : /trunk/project1/depends
  • Project2 : /trunk/project2/depends
  • Project3 : /trunk/project3/depends
  • Project4 : /trunk/project4/depends

Each of these depends folders are empty, but have an svn:external defined to point to my /trunk/common folder.

The problem is when I view log within any of the projects: /trunk/projectX/ it does not show changes from the svn:externals. I am using tortoise SVN as my SVN client.

Does anyone know how to change this behavior? I would like for the show log of /trunk/projectX to include any changes to any defined svn:externals as well.

This is not possible with the current release of Subversion, other than explicitly calling svn log on the target of the externals directory

You can try issueing a feature request at the Apache Subversion website
