How to use VisualSVN to support both local and remote source paths?

Question

Like, if possible, you would use VisualSVN to extract the source code from an open source project (for example, in Codeplex), but also the local SVN repository so that you can save the change history for your own settings, but still from check the codeplex project for changes that I can apply to my code. This particular project (on codeplex), I only have read-only access, so I will never check the code before the code.

I am relatively new to VisualSVN, have ever used Visual Source Safe in the past.

Is this type of installation even possible with the tools that I have, and if another tool didn’t work? A few pointers would be a big help.

Answer 1

The SVN Book provides a more detailed explanation than I could give here, but the concept you are describing is a vendor branch .

I am not familiar with VisualSVN on purpose, so I cannot give you step-by-step instructions; Maybe someone else can.
