I have a trunk in subversion (representing the project folder of my visual studio project). In that trunk I referenced some other projects via svn-externals. This works as expected. I can copy the whole trunk to a tag and thus make a tagged version out of my trunk. The svn-externals are being pegged to the head revisions after i copied the trunk to the tag.
Now I have the situation, that I want to branch a previous tag to change something for a specific customer. But when I copy the tag to the branch the pegged externals remain the same, and I cannot make changes to the repository any more. How am i supposed to branch such a tag?
Greetings Wolfgang
This post Checking out an old revision with externals adresses the same problem. I have to take care that all externals are pegged to their respective revision when tagging the trunk.
