Managing two similar Ruby on Rails projects using Subversion
Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to manage two very similar Ruby on Rails projects with minor differences using subversion, so that both projects could be updated at once? Sometimes only a file in one of the projects would need to be updated, but often the change applies to both projects. Thanks, Erica -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Among its many other benefits, Git has sensible branching and merging (which Subversion lacks), so what you ask will be easier. Alternatively, if you can extract the differences to a config file, and just keep the codebases the same, maintenance would be even easier. But this question is basically off topic here, and should be asked on a SVN or Git list.> > Thanks, > > EricaBest, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
