[Planetlab-devel] svn cross-module commits

[Thierry Parmentelat]

Hi Faiyaz
we had a discussion yesterday on the irc channel about that
our objective was to be able to commit cross-module changes - that is in 
the trunk of several changes - in a single move

given the svn tree, I guess most people have a *set* of working dirs, 
each connected to a module trunk
but with this etup you cannot commit in the same move two files in two 
different modules

Of course checking out the whole stuff would do; but there was a concern 
about the total space  - branches and tags, sounded *huge* - and thus 
delay - this is Europe you know :)
Here I just have the trunks, but still can commit across modules.
