Q:

With SVN, is it possible to manage a repository within a repository?

I am creating a website stored in a SVN repository. Under my /lib/vendor/ directory, I want to be able to checkout and update to the latest version of Symfony from its SVN repository.
However, when I do this, I am unable to commit the /lib/vendor/ directory because it is already under separate version control.
Is it possible to maintain a separate repository within a repository?

A:

You can define an External.

and a little more on the how-to side...
