svnexternals

svn: Is there a way to avoid extraneous re-loading of externals?


When I do an svn update, it reloads all the externals, even though I've given them all an explicit revision in svn:externals, and I haven't modified this property or the files in question.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?


Solution

  • Should be quite simply:

    svn update --ignore-externals
    

    svn help update has additional information on other parameters.
