[mapguide-internals] Modify svn:externals for Oem

Hi everyone,

 

I would like to switch the Subversion externals definitions for
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/trunk/MgDev/Oem/ to use relative paths instead
of fully qualified paths.  Currently, the definitions are set as

 

Property svn:externals set to 
CsMap http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/trunk/CsMapDev
fusion http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/branches/fusion-2.0

 

According to the Subversion docs, relative paths are supported in Svn
versions 1.5 and later.  TortoiseSVN clients based on Svn 1.5 and later
should inherit the same functionality.

http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#externals

 

Property svn:externals set to 
CsMap /metacrs/csmap/trunk/CsMapDev
fusion /fusion/branches/fusion-2.0

 

This should enable us to create read-only Subversion proxies which can
successfully mirror the MapGuide, CsMap, and Fusion vaults.  Without the
change, the proxies will end up hitting the main OSGeo server for any
projects linked using svn:externals.  This is especially problematic for
CsMap which is a 450MB download with all the coordinate system files.

 

Sound good to everyone?

 

Thanks,
Trevor
