why would you want to do so?
I was thinking about e.g. if I want to add some files to documentation, but want updates of documentation of the trunk to automatically make my branch updated.
the only reason i see is, that you are already used to this practice.
Ok, if this is the only reason, and I am already used to this practice, how would I get into this practice in the first place?
svn has the concept of _larger_ atomic commits (very unlike cvs) - this is based on the assumption, that a change (or file,...) must always be seen in a larger context.
Well, I was also thinking about whether it'd be a good idea to make changes to makefiles of /trunk/externals but only in my branch. In the end I think that it wouldn't be so good an idea, exactly because the Makefile only makes sense in a larger context... updates to the trunk would eventually cause trouble to the branch.
