    <p>We're interested in moving from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_SourceSafe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a source control system</a> that supports the concept of <strong>shared</strong> or <strong>linked</strong> files.</p> <p>A shared file means: a file modified in one project, is automatically updated changed in every other project that uses that <em>same</em> file. It does this without a developer having to request it, reverse-integrate it, ask for it, or even want it.</p> <p>We're trying to see if any other commonly used source-control systems can meet our needs, and include <strong>linked</strong> or <strong>shared</strong> files. My limited research shows that:</p> <ul> <li>Team Foundation Server doesn't support sharing files</li> <li>Subversion doesn't support sharing files (including <em>Externals</em>)</li> <li>CVS doesn't support sharing files (including <em>Modules</em>)</li> </ul> <p>Anything else? (besides our current source control product, obviously)</p> <h2>References</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/135361/subversion-and-shared-files-across-repositories-projects">Subversion and shared files across repositories/projects?</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cvs@gnu.org/msg33431.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to share files between CVS projects?</a></li> <li><a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsspecs/thread/de67b504-bfe6-4077-8215-16c2d337e955" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Will TFS ever support shared files for projects under source control?</a></li> </ul>

    1. COArgh: the only VCS I know which both support linked files, and dynamic update is... ClearCase! But I do not dare to say it in an answer; ClearCase would probably gives you more troubles than solutions, unless you have *a lot* of inter-dependent projects...

    2. COWhat's wrong with SVN's externals? It seems this is what they were invented for.

    3. COI suggest that maybe you can work around the shared file thing. They're a pretty horrible feature to be honest, is you're use of them really a good thing?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
