Is there a way to create a shorcut to files using subversion? (windows)

I was wondering if there is a way to create a shortcut to files using subversion.

the situation is like that:

My projects structures look something like that:

 \bin

    private_binary.exe
    public_binary.exe

 \documentation

    private_doc.doc
    public_doc.pfd

 \sources
    ...

When commiting a change - it is alsorequired to transfer only the public binaries/documentations to the QA team for testing. We are now doing that by simply coping the relevant files to a network drive owned by the QA.

My thoughts are to create a new folder within the project: QA. then, to create a shotcuts to the relevant public files

something like that:

 \bin
     private_binary.exe
     public_binary.exe
 \sources\
     private_doc.doc
     public_doc.pfd

  \QA
     shortcut to public_binary.exe
     shortcut to public_doc.pdf

this way, the QA team will just have to go to the \QA folder of the latest revision and and will have safe access to the correct fil开发者_如何学Ces.

is it possible? if not, I'll glad to hear any workarounds/ how do you publish your stuff to the QA teams.

Many Thanks,

Check the documentation under svn:externals which is probably the in-built facility closest to what you are asking for. Like you I'll be interested to learn what others are doing.

You could implement a post-commit hook that exports the binaries and the documentation in the QA network drive.
