svn - Can we set a single file as external in Subversion?

Question

Can we set a single file as external in Subversion?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible with svn 1.6. It's documented in the nightly build version of the svn book.

But even though file externals are working, you should only do it with text files (for now) because binary files won't work correctly as file externals.
