Edit Externals

Use this command to define or change externals.

Example

To include the external http://server/svn/foo as directory bar/bazz at revision 4711 into your project, select directory bar and invoke Properties|Edit Externals. Enter bazz into the Local Path input field, http://server/svn/foo into the URL input field, 4711 to the Revision input field and click Add. After committing your property change, an update on bar will create the subdirectory bar/bazz with the content from http://server/svn/foo.

Tip

It is safer to always set a Revision to external definitions. In this way you can always be sure about which actual version you are working with. When you decide to use a more recent revision of the external, you can evaluate it before and if you are satisfied, increase the Revision number for this external.
