me is new to version control.... please help me :)
Author
Hello,
I'm using subversion for my projects; And it's great for individual projects, but what about for controlling versions of individual files accross multiple workspaces (using Visual C++)??
For example:
I have a file called "vector.h" that is used in 2 workspaces, A and B.
I modify "vector.h" in workspace A, but workspace B has an old version of vector.h;
How do i make it so workspace B can access an up to date version of "vector.h" without manually copying it over all the time?
Please help :(

Take a look at Version Control with Subversion a free book about Subversion. There's also some good links over at wikipedia.

Put it in a common library, so you would have 3 repositories: one for project A, one for Project B, and one for the common library.
You don't even need to go with DLL or lib files, provided it's just a header (or a collection of headers), you can simply stick those in the common folder, and add that as an include directory for both projects, and boom, you're set. On the other hand, if the vector and whatever else you use with both of the projects uses a .cpp file as well as headers, you might want to compile it as a static library instead, to avoid the ahssle of having to manually add the .cpp file to every project that uses it.
Only commit a single copy of vector.h, and use it in both projects.
Set up your build environment so that both projects look in a common directory for common includes (i.e. headers)
