Frequently Asked Questions

These questions have been built from questions asked on the Jawsscripts email list:

How does the system handle Interdependancies?

Each folder in the SVN tree is a separate "component", so downloading from one component (script) will not automatically download from another. However, you can create "SVN externals" that link to another part of the repository, or another repository entirely. How to do this will be added to the Using SVN page.

What is the .SVN directory for?

When you 'checkout' a working copy of an Subversion project, it saves the project files on your computer. The ".svn" folder is kept in each local folder, and stores the changes made since the last 'commit' or 'update'.
