Maintaining WordPress on SVN: Adding Plugins


Thank you for joining me again for this series on maintaing WordPress from subversion. We talked previously about creating an SVN repository and then about importing WordPress into the SVN repository.

Today, we get into customizations. It does us no good to have an SVN repository with WordPress if we don’t change it to be something other than what it is. In this episode I talk about adding plugins (and you can add any file, really) by adding it to the working copy folder and then checking it in.

I also touched quickly on svn:externals, although I note that I goofed in the screencast and typed

1
svn propedit svn:external .

instead of using the correct

1
svn propedit svn:externals .

(note the plural externals).
