Rails - Jan 2011 - 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

I''d advise you to leave Subversion for Git (there are conversion
tools).
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.
