I have an SVN repository containing several components:
- LibraryA
- LibraryB - depends on LibraryA
- Application - depends on LibraryB and LibraryA
More detailed structure (branches and tags are not related to the problem):
- LibraryA
- LibraryA_code
- LibraryB
- LibraryB_code
- svn:externals to a fixed revision R1 of LibraryA_code
- Application
- Application_code
- svn:externals to a fixed revision R2 of LibraryA_code
- svn:externals to a fixed revision R3 of LibraryB_code
The problem I'm trying to solve is automatic detection of situation when R2 differs from R1 (breaking expectations of LibraryB_code) and notification about this (e.g. build failure).
I'll describe in an answer the only solution which I see for now, but I hope for something more elegant :)
Environment: Windows, Visual Studio, SVN.
