Hi,

The thread I'm replying to was last updated on Jan 9, 2007.

Is it still true that SmartSVN has no functionality like svn_load_dirs.pl?

I am trying to follow the vendor branch management protocol for Drupal that is described in this blog post:
http://imagexmedia.com/blog/2009/1/updating-drupal-using-svn-vendor-branches.

Thank you,
Phil

It's still true, there is no corresponding functionality.
