Can we set a single file as external in Subversion?

Question

Can we set a single file as external in Subversion?

Answer 1

For SVN 1.9.4 the syntax is like folder's one:

svn propset svn:externals  

E.g., this will create file local.txt in the current directory referencing to file.txt:

svn propset svn:externals ^/trunk/path/to/file.txt local.txt
