Sharing Files in SVN

Question

I am in the process of moving from VSS to SVN and I\'m not sure how to share files in SVN.

Basically we have the following structure in VSS

I second Rick on this. To me, the whole concept of "sharing" (= having the same file occur in two places at checkouts) is weird.

I guess each versioning system has its own mindset implicitly attached to it. I've tried Perforce and I've stayed with Subversion. Bringing your projects to it without changing the mindset and maybe workflow may be flawed, though.

The Book on svn is a worthy read, to get some of the mindset submerged before doing the plunge. You can select some sections only, you don't have to read all at once.
